David is right the Emend can be a wonder drug, you take it the day of chemo and then 2 days following. Expensive but it works great. But I would say the regimen you've been given is the same that many of us have been given...zofran, decadron, compazine, etc. Even taking all three I find that I'm queasy all the time.
