annie has some good things on her list and I just wanted to add that I think the Dex also eats at the lining of your stomach (depending of course on how much you have - I had large amounts as I reacted to chemo).
So my after chemo box of tricks included nexium which reduces stomach acid so you can give it time to heal. I also found that I didn't need the anti-nausea when I took these as the weird "I am hungry or do I want to vomit" feeling was controlled by this as well
And definately every treatment was followed by cake :)
