Here he is showing off the multiple bags of IVs: The Cytoxin, Mesna (a protective drug), and some sodium water, and sugar water that is used with the Mesna.
They gave him plenty of IV fluids to flush out the chemo and protect some of his organs. He ended up with so many fluids that he was retaining water, which in turn caused him to gain 6 lbs in one day. So, to get this water out, they gave him Lasix, which made him have to urinate frequently.
