I would seek a second opinion if I were you. More and more MO's do endorse smaller weekly doses of cisplatin. There is no reduction in efficacy and considerably lower risk of damaging side effects like neuropathy and hearing loss.

During my infusions, I received Aloxi and Emend and had minimal trouble with nausea and never had chemotherapy induced vomiting.
