Bob,
For me,the first 2 to 3 weeks were not so difficult as expected as I could still drive to the hospital for treatment. After each shot of the cisplatin, I had nausea for 2 days that followed. The chemo doctor prescribed some anti-nausea medicine for me to take before each meal. I remember throwing up twice during the whole treatment. Not that bad after all. Physically, there wasn't much pain, but mentally, I seemed to be another person without any motivation to do anything. Very tired and wasn't interested in things around. Everyone's reaction to the treatment varies a great deal Just hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
