I had nightmares about choking on my own vomit with the mask on - must be a musician thing (right out of Spinal Tap)! Fortunately I never got ill during radiation. Ed's post made me laugh, he unfortunately must be one of the 40% that Zofran doesn't work for. I ended up using compazine suppositories with an Ativan stuck in it. I couldn't keep anything down. Thank God that part is over with. If any of you get Cisplatin, be sure to get a baseline hearing test before you start it. You should get at least 1 or 2 more hearing tests during treatment. And like Joanna said, any change in hearing or ringing in the ears, tell your oncologist immediately. Cisplatin can cause deafness in rare cases.
