Side Effects (Hair loss (alopecia)): I have Chemotherapy 1 every 3 weeks. I am 4 treatments in.
I have experienced nausea, vomiting, severe fatigue, weakness, dizziness. Those are just some of the side effects i incur during my 8 days after receiving my treatment, which lasts 9 hours. I also suffer from stage 4 bone cancer. My lung cancer is stage 2.

I went through 3 days of chemo every 3rd week, then went to more when I had radiation, I had all the side effects you had plus I was passing out. Chemo is rough going. I have small cell cancer but it isn't in my lungs and I am stage 4, Liver, neck and chest. Getting ready for another round of more aggressive chemo.
What are the symptoms of bone cancer? How much more chemo do you need? Did you loose all your hair? God bless.
