Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have lung cancer and you are taking chemotherapy. Your tiredness, fatigue, hair loss, stomach pain all are due to side effects of chemotherapy like carboplatin. It is very common and expected side effects. No need to worry about that.
Just be relaxed.
