Everyone has different reactions to chemo. Talk with your doctor prior to starting about medications that may reduce the nausea and have them available "just in case". Also, have contingency plans in place for minor "emergencies" vomiting / intestinal issues etc. (Because of that, I would recommend being very careful about food intake until you're certain about how your body reacts.)

Good Luck
