Hi Jen,
My friend had Cisplatin for the first time on Thursday. He sailed through the treatment itself, ate heartily while having it and talked up a storm the entire time. He took all the anti-nausea medication like clockwork and, at least as of today, has only experienced the mildest reaction. He was also sitting next to someone taking his final course of chemo who had only mild reactions too. I'm new to this also so can only share this limited view. But I sure hope it goes well for you. I'd make those six hours as productive as possible!
