text: anyone had chemo!? got to have docetaxel and cisplatin any advice would be helpful ie does scalp cooling work. can i work between sessions etc. thanks of course everyone is different, but i took my chemo (cisplatin) really well.  i was nauseated, but the compazine took care of that.  get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids.  eat what you can because you'll need your strength.  also, try not to eat your favorite foods when you're sick.  that way you won't associate them with that nauseous feeling should you get that way.  i also exercised the days following my treatments.  the fresh air and physical activity helped me mentally, physically and emotionally.  i didn't feel sorry for myself as much because i was out there doing something.  take care and god bless
