First day of chemo, any tips yall got?

Patient

I have stage 4 ewings sarcoma, currently paraplegic from my primary tumor that’s right next to my spinal cord, i did 20 grays of radiation, and as of last night i did my first day of chemo, the plan is 4/5 days of doxorubicin/ifosfamide, no side effects beside the ifo that made me feel a bit drowsy, drinking a lot of liquids around 5L(1.5 gallons). Currently feeling never better i know the real side effects start later and after a few more cycles of chemo when your immune system is shot. But do yall have any tips for me, any advice that i dont know about that i should watch out for especially with doxo/ifo regiment. Thanks to everyone reading this all, everybody’s contribution means a lot during a time like this.
