One good thing
I had to have an echocardiogram before chemo (which will start next Tues), and the cardiologist told me my LDL (bad cholesterol) was really low. Told him I got no credit, it's all genetics, that I eat a lot of butter. He said, "Chemo isn't a time to diet--you should eat more butter!" So there's that.

I found barfing was no big thing. It just came out like water. Carry a beaker for barfing nearby.
This is the one the VA gave me.
The nausea will trail off in time, but keep something with you until you are sure your stomach is better.
Sleep is essential. You will nap several times a day.
I survived with the help earphones, good music and a sleep mask
I used a feeding tube for food and water.
Hydrate! Practice patience. A walking stick or a steady hand helps.
I was getting radiation at the same time as Chemo, so your mileage may vary.
Just handle it as it comes, and you'll do fine.
