AK I took Odansetron, Pramin and Dexemethasone. The Dex was only for two days after each dose. Odansetron didn't do much for me. The Pramin was ok but short acting. I had to take it very regularly.
Cisplatin reactions vary quite a bit. The doctors will give you a list of possible side effects you may experience none or several of them to varying degrees. Cisplatin is very effective combined with radiation, but like all drugs you need to be aware of and manage the side effects. Your brother should keep in close contact with the doctors during treatment and advise them of any changes. For example things like nausea they can change the medications to find one that works for him.
