Speak to your care team about that. Diarrhoea is one of the things they want to know about. You might need meds to control it. My wife seems to be the opposite and needed her constipation brought under control. Her aftercare team sorted this in no time.
I'm sorry to hear you are having some side effects from the chemo- it can cause a lot of anxiety. Hopefully, things will start to settle down in a few days, but if things are still not right it's best to either ring the nurse at the hospital for further advice or your GP. They should be able to give something to help with the diarrhoea.
If you can, try and not worry so much about eating for a day or so, but do make sure you are drinking - any fluid - as this will stop you getting dehydrated. Sometimes, fizzy drinks help though what drink helps most is different for every person.
