Hi Dave, Kris had a regime for anti nausea meds given to us before he started the Cisplatin. He took some prior to the first dose.
His meds were; Domperidone ( Mitilium ). 10 mgs 4 times /day

Ondansetron. ( Zofran ). 8 mgs. 3 times /day

Dexamethasone. 8 mgs. 2 times /day

Aprepitant. 80 mgs Once / day

He started this regime on the morning of the first dose.

I'm sure that the chemo Nurses will give you anti nausea meds. Please also ensure that you are given a script so that you have these meds to take routinely at home - at least for the 3 days following the Cisplatin.

You will get through this.
