From what I can find - your diet is not really a diet - however, since your immune system is compromised, avoid raw foods like sushi, and make sure things are well cooked and prepared in such a way that you don't get any food borne illnesses - so avoiding take out food, for example. You have to keep everything clean to prevent infections.
You may not have appetite, so eat often. Also, make sure you get protein - so eat eggs (well cooked), meats, nuts, beans to get protein. Drink high calorie liquids if you need to keep weight on. Control your nausea. Has your doc given you medications to help with that?
Those are basic things I found.
I hope that helps.

Are you asking what types of food are good to help nausea, or what types of food are good with the medicine, or what types of food are good to help xxx?
The question is not clear to me. Also, you are asking other patients like yourself - have you asked the guidance of your doctor?
