Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 453 | Steve has just finished his 3 x Cisplatin with his last one being done last wednesday. So far he hasn't puked with any of them but he has had really bad nausea and the medication provided hasn't helped much at all. Just wondering if they do the cisplatin infusion the same in the U.S as they do here in Australia. Steve had 2 litres of fluid via IV before the infusion of nausea meds, then cisplatin. Cisplatin was then followed by 2 more litres of fluids via IV. Since he's been home we've been making sure he gets at least 2 litres of fluid a day.
