Steve, so glad things are getting underway for you! I like the ideas folks are offering on med tracking, that really is a challenge with the suite of anti-nausea meds that comes with Cisplatin treatment. Lots of good advice above, so I'll just add that you're in my thoughts and prayers and I hope all goes smoothly for you!
Hugs,
Mama
