The 3 large doses of chemo is how I was given the cisplatin too. Do not be surprised if the 3rd dose is cut, that seems to happen to alot of us. The second dose I got was cut significantly back too. There shouldnt be any signs of nausea for a couple of days. Then look out! I would suggest that in about 3 days to watch Bob closely for nausea and at the first stomach flutter give him anti-nausea meds. Once you get behind on this there is no catching up.
Congrats on getting the SSDI. Its simple to get if everything is documented.
Best wishes with everything.
