It is interesting to hear that the first few times can be pretty easy. I have been sitting here waiting for the other shoe to drop (waiting to start feeling really sick). So I can really expect how I feel this time to be an indication of how I will feel the next time, I guess.
as for anti-naisea drugs, I am using Zophran as well and I was perscribed another one that I can take along with it. The Dr. said I should just automatically take the Zophran for the first 48hrs and not wait for symptoms. I am not sure now if it working or if I have just not had any nausea.

Glad to hear you're doing okay.
For me, it wasn't until the third or fourth treatment before I was nauseous and the second when I started losing my hair. It was 3 weeks between treatments for me. Keep taking the Zophran, even if you don't need it just like he said.
The best thing you can do is rest. The chemo will kick your ass, so don't try to be overly tough about, that'll do more harm than good.
You're doing great.
