If you are asking which fruits you can eat, all of them are good. I am not aware of any fruits that you must not eat.

As far as I know all fruits are allowed. If you have any restrictions due to any medications you are on, your doctor or medical care team would be the best to answer that question.

Grapefruit interferes with chemotherapy, blood pressure, and heart medications. Also you might reduce intake of high fiber foods if your chemo causes constipation.

Otherwise wash fruit thoroughly and there should be no issues.

From drugs.com:

Grapefruit juice decreases the activity of the cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzymes that are responsible for breaking down many drugs and toxins.

Grapefruit contains compounds known as furanocoumarins that block the CYP3A4 enzymes. When grapefruit juice is consumed, the enzyme’s ability to break down the drug for elimination is decreased.

Blood levels of the drug may rise, resulting in a risk for new or worsened side effects.

One whole fruit or 200 milliliters of grapefruit juice (a bit less than one cup) can block the CYP3A4 enzymes and lead to toxic blood levels of the drug.
