There are a lot of common side effects that people may experience when getting some treatments for their lung cancer. Some would notice that their hair would start to fall off. This is because the treatment may also kill their healthy cells. There are also some who may start having problems with their digestion such as diarrhea and constipation.

People are usually advised to avoid going to crowded areas even at times when they are feeling just fine because they have a higher chance of getting infections from other people. People will also notice that they feel more tired all the time probably because of the reduction in the number of red blood cells that they have.

Those who are taking treatments in order to cure their lung cancer may experience some side effects depending on the treatments that they are doing. People who undergo chemotherapy might lose their hair. There are also some people who experience nausea and would vomit continuously.

There are also some people who would experience easy bruising because they do not have enough platelets to allow their body to heal faster. Some lung cancer patients find it hard to eat not only because they do not have any appetite but because they are also suffering from mouth sores.
