Glad your port insertion went OK. Re the diet - when researching it for my mother when she was diagnosed, I was told whole grans and most fruits were fine. So fruit, whole wheat toast, brown rice, etc are fine to eat. Stay away from the white carbs, added sugars, junk food, that kind of thing. You also need to watch out for antioxidants. Normally they are a good thing, but when you're undergoing cancer treatment, they're not. So don't go crazy eating lots of antioxidant-rich foods or supplements.
EDIT: you cancer center or wherever you are getting your infusions should have a dietician/nutritionist on staff that can help you with revising your diet, too.
