I found chemo to be the least troublesome of the treatment but that really depends on you and how your body works. Other than a little nausea that was managed with the meds for three days after treatment I was fine. One thing... well two - if they give you cisplatin which is the standard, they will likely be giving you a hearing test which is no biggie. Also my hospital kept me in over night after administering it because it is hard on the kidneys. If yours sends you home... take in lots of fluids - i think that helped with the nausea as well. Hugs... (mind you running to the bathroom hourly was NOT fun... but it beats the alternative.

Keep strong.
