I think they are doing your chemo a bit differently - I received the maximum dose in one day not several small doses over 4 - for me the nausea lasted 2 -3 days after I received the chemo - I had 3 anti emetics - 2 to be taken for 3 days after treatment and 1 for breakthrough nausea. Did they tell you to drink lots? You should - cisplatin is hard on your kidneys - drink a lot of fluids if you can, to clear it. That might help with the nausea. Though I imagine it's hard to keep it down. they keep us in over night and give use an iv of fluids and anti emetics I think this really helps, to clear the chemo. Hopefully you will be feeling better by Monday. Sorry you are having to go through this - it's not easy but you will get through it.

Taking an antiemetic maybe an hour before rads on Monday if you need to that should help in case you are feeling nauseated - take care.

Hugs
