Ask your oncology dietician for food choice advice (correct nutrition is super important) and keep your doctor advised of "any and all symptoms and issues". You may want stock up your cupboard prior to infusion day and include some quick and easy things to eat for days you are tired or not up to snuff. Keep a note pad within reach and write everything down or use your phone notepad. This chemo clouds the brain and if you don't write it down you won't remember what to tell/ask your doctor or support group. They have all sorts of treatments for nausea, etc., but you must let them know. Don't be shy. They want this treatment to be successful and they will work with you. BTW, I was freaked out when I was told about the whole pump thing, but it was no big deal. Sending good wishes!
