The unexpected thing for him is that one of the meds they gave him prior to the Cisplatin made him really, really sleepy. So, I was glad I was along to drive him home.
Also, I remember it was a long day and we brought along board games and cards. We managed to play until he fell asleep somewhere along the way.
Some people get a lot of nausea. He did not get any. In fact, he felt quite well that following week. I wish you well!
