What helps with chemo nausea and pain besides prescription meds?

54 F. I was told I had cancer the week of Thanksgiving 2025 was also told it was fully resectable planning on having my gallbladder out and part of the liver and was scheduled for surgery January 19. Iwhen they went in on the 19th they had said it spread to both sides of my liver and my diaphragm and I was no longer able for surgery and chemotherapy has been started Jan 27th. I’m on my free week of my first round. While the first two weeks of chemo have gone good I’ve had many other obstacles jump in the way such as jaundice and had to have a stent. Blood clot, and then a port placement. So have not felt good. I’m having problems with nausea and pain and trying to figure out something different just to feel human throughout the days. has anyone had good feedback on those two items outside of just having to take oxycodone and nausea medicine. I don’t smoke and don’t want to but am open to gummies or drops or pills. Also was going to ask about patches. I want to go back to work next week and need to feel my best.. thank you all in advance and I hope your journey is going well.
