Wow, you manage to stay hydrated way better than I did. I just couldn’t make myself drink that much, no matter what they said I should drink. Good for you.
Nausea was my biggest hurdle during these drugs. They did not have nearly as many nausea drugs as they have now. I hope they find something that works for you.
Our compounding pharmacy was definitely my friend, they made up a cream with 4 different drugs in it and I used a lot of it, and it helped.
I can’t honestly say anything but sleep completely eliminated it for me. The compazine just knocked me out for a while and the rest seemed to help.
How many rounds are you scheduled for?

Four cycles of A/C and four cycles of T. (Two-week cycles.)
I am glad you are able to sleep well. The past five nights have been really tough for sleep. One of the oncology nurses says it is probably due to the dexamethasone (steroid) I had to take the first three days after the chemotherapy infusion. She says that I should start sleeping better with time and that I may just need a smaller dose next time. (I can't even remember what the dexamethasone is for.)
