Hello. I had my treatment two years ago and I got cisplatin every week for 7 weeks and I have to say that the side effects were not bad at all. I had medication for the nausea, and then special pills to take for the "breakout nausea" which really worked well. In all 7 treatments I only became sick about 5 or 6 times and the meds for the breakout nausea got me feeling better in 1/2 hour or so. I continued to work (part time) through my treatment.

Good luck and it is nice to know tha you will be feeling better and have your treatment behind you in several months!
