Eric, Don't know if your chemo is the same as what I had, but I had 3 chemo's, one every 21 days along with rad. They took me into the hopital and hydrated me for 24 hours, then gave me anti-nausia drugs, then knocked me out, gave me the chemo and then kept hydrating throughout the chemo. The only bad effect I had was with the first anti-nausia drugs. They made me vomit and have diarieha (sp) simultaneously. Once they switched me to a different anti-nausia drug, I had no problems at all. We are all different, but if you are doing the same type of cisplatin treatment, make sure they are hydrating and using anti-nausia drugs. If they are, maybe a different anti-nausia drug would help. Hang in there partner.
