How to fight cisplatin side effects like nausea & fatigue?

@woodsy1 This is a tough battle, a really tough one. I'm starting my third week of radiation photon as the other one is not avaliable in Canada. Constipation can get really bad, I have increased my dose of stool softener and laxatives. I'm trying to increase my liquid intake as food taste has drastically changed. I feel like now I have to eat to survive. I did tors surgery so now I have 30 treatments of radiation and 6 cisplatin. But doctors are happy if I get 5.

@kamrin
I am starting my 3 rd week photon radiation tomorrow too.
Taste of food is all bland now but am continuing to eat regular like
just for nutrition sake.
That is good you are adding supplements for digestion as I found out the hard way and
am adding similar supplements now. I don't think you can drink enough water when getting chemo to combat constipation.
I've also bumped up the Vit D3 K2 quite a bit along with magnesium glycinate., rinsing mouth 3-4 times a day with the baking soda, salt and water solution.
Good luck to you I'm sure we will be comparing notes some in the future.
