Congrats on your first chemo. I mean it, as it does take bravery to front up and have it done in the first place, even though having it isn't that bad. Who wants to get medicine to make you feel sick? No one.
Just accept for perhaps 10 days or so you will be under the weather but you do pick up for a while before the next dose so its not all doom and gloom. Look after yourself and rest when you need to and your body will thank you for it. Eat if you can but just go liquids if you can't. No one ever starved to death in 10 days so don't panic. If you don't want medication for bloat, try soft drink (watered down if you like) or a half teaspoon of bicarb in water to bring those burps up. I still have bloat troubles and I finished my chemo months ago.
