Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 33 | My medical oncologist actually decided against the Taxol, so it's just Cisplatin for now. I had my 2nd dose yesterday. The nurse said the IV anti-nausea meds would wear off some point tomorrow but that is not true. I woke up feeling ok but after a couple of hours the nausea came on. I've been drinking plenty of water, had breakfast, took Zofran, Compazine and Ativan and still there's nausea. Gag! I feel like I'm in my first trimester of my 2nd pregnancy all over again. Yuck!
