So sick from cisplatin that I ended up dehydrated and got a couple hospital stays. My third round of cisplatin was cancelled. Once the nasuea gets away from you, its impossible to control it.
Compazine caused me alot of bad side effects. I couldnt get my nasuea under control, I was so weak and tired but couldnt lay down to rest. The compazine made me pace the floors, it was awful. Please remember, everyone reacts differently to these meds and to chemo. Hope your husband is doing ok.
