I believe I went through at least 10 different meds before finding one that worked. Many of the ones used today were just being used back in 2003. Don't be shy in trying any until you find one that works.
Make sure, especially with Cisplatin, you notify the doctor regarding any changes like hearing, vision, urinating, etc., as dehydration from vomitting will exacerbate things quickly. I am glad they got you into the ER and put some fluids in you.
Best wishes for a good day today...and every day!
