About nausea and Cisplatin ...I had two rounds of Cisplatin at the same time as the radiation treatment was going on. I didn't ever throw up due to nausea, thanks to the antinausea pills they give you plus the steriods they give you to make the antinausea medicine work. I must say I didn't care for the steriods because I couldn't sit still and felt 'weird'. For me, five minutes seemed like an hour. I did have a gagging problem because of the thick mucous gunk in the back of my throat. If I'd been proactive, I would have drank all the time to keep that stuff washed down. Of course I wouldn't, so I ended up making myself vomit after repeated gagging episodes. Good Luck.
