Side effects from 1st chemo

My sister has 2B stage HER2 positive cancer patient. She had her first round out of 6 TCH chemotherapy sessions.
She will have a double mastectomy and reconstruction after chemo.

My sister is having bone pain, fatigue, loss of appetite and nausea. She says that the nausea is the worst. Her doctor gave her a prescription to help the nausea.

My other sister who is a nurse aide is staying with her right now. My nurse aide sister says that one with cancer isn't drinking or eating very much. She's sleeping alot.

What can we do to help her? She just saw her doctor yesterday. He said that within a few days that the side effects will lessen and this is common. He also told us that her chemotherapy drug doses will also go down.

It's just hard to see a close loved one in pain.

Thanks for any help.
