Loss of appetite is normal and she needs to just eat what she wants little and often, the anti nausea meds may need changing if she's vomiting, if she takes them as directed she should just feel queasy rather than vomit but its easier to prevent than stop once it begins.

The bone pain is normal and should ease too and shouldn't be anything too awful, she can ask her Onc for painkillers for this too, if she listens to her body and needs to sleep thats good as it will help her body heal.
