My nausea was tied in to the weekly chemo regimen.... after exactly 5 days it started for one morning. I was very (very) lucky and never actually puked in the mask, although it was close until I figured that I only need to take something on day 5. Also, this did not happen with carboplatin...
Note: I did not have amifostine.
