Gary and I had the 3 big bag method of Cisplatin as it used to be the ONLY delivery method and I also had nausea that wouldn't quit but some are now being given 6 smaller weekly doses and most have not reported uncontrollable nausea issues. Bear in mind that there are NO studies indicating if this method is as effective as the "gold standard" 3 big bag method.
