Are you talking to your doctor? I had a relationship with someone years ago who battled cancer. He had a terrible time with the first surgery and round of chemo. When he was diagnosed with a metastisis, he told his doctor that he was considering not doing anything and just dying because the first round had been so bad.
His doctor was able to help us with pain management (he didn't like to take pills, so we did a lot of stuff IV through a catheter implanted just under his skin during the initial operation) and anti-nausea medication.
I learned to change how I cooked for him too. I made a lot of smaller meals and did a lot of what they did in the hospital. I made small cups of jello/pudding/chopped fruit and small servings of meats and grains and veggies. It was all about eating just a couple bites of different things at a time. Trying to eat a whole meal in one sitting was too difficult for his body to process.
Also tried to keep spicy things out and tried to only eat natural things. Not too processed like no white bread, white rice or junk food. Removing processed foods was a big help with the nausea and metal taste in his mouth after eating.
We were really surprised that there were so many things available for nausea and pain that nobody was telling us about. You've got to go in to your doctor and say "Gimme!" to get them.
Good Luck
