Tom,

Everyone is different in reactions to chemo, as Gary said. Sometimes the body has the week or two between chemo to figure out that it might want to reject the chemo. Your nurses will watch for this and handle it.

If your chemo is like others there should be pre dose of dex. 12 hours and 6 hours before treatment and pre dose of anti nausea drugs through IV? Then some chemos they give you the doses of steroids for 3 days after treament.

This is all to help you tolerate the treatments better.

Take care, it sounds as if you are prepared and have a great attitude.
