My Tx was very similar - I had IMRT for 7 weeks on weekdays. I had three rounds of Cisplatin - one every two weeks. Frankly it made me quite nauseous despite all the meds that others have mentioned. My experience was that the worst period was the two or three days after getting the infusion. I never did experience vomiting - just a nagging queasy/nauseous feeling that would never really go away. After a few weeks my doc gave me Marinol and that helped to some degree.

Of course the side effects of the IMRT are well documented on this site so you probably know what you're getting into there. Try to remember on the radiation that the side effects continue for a bit after radiation ends. They say it's typical not to 'hit bottom' physically until a few weeks after radiation ends and that was my experience as well. I tell you that hoping you won't get discouraged if you don't feel immediately better after the 7 weeks of treatment.

As you can see by the replies you've gotten so far there's a wide range of reactions to the Cisplatin. I was pretty sickly but not as bad as some have had it. Hopefully you won't have to battle the nausea.

I would add also that they promised me I'd lose my hair from the Cisplatin and I really didn't. I lost some on the back of my head at the bottom of my hairline (from sleeping on a pillow I assume) but that was about it.

Stay tuned in and let us know how you do.
