Just remember that, you're doing great! Radiation is "The gift that keeps on giving!" You will have a go of it for a while and everybody heals at different levels and time lines. Just keep trying, pushing yourself, and experimenting. Trust the folks here when they say it will get better. I had Cisplatin eight years ago and it's effective but man it's packs some punches to get there, nausea being its strong suit! I would inquire about the anti-nausea meds that Heidi and Alpaca mentioned. I'm sure you already are taking some but it would be worth inquiring as to dosage. Prayers for you and Best Wishes!
