I also have lung adenocarcinoma. My doctor recommended chemotherapy, but I'm extremely afraid, so I'd like to know what the side effects of chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer are?

After chemotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma, patients may experience bone marrow suppression, manifested as reductions in white blood cells, platelets, and red blood cells. Gastrointestinal adverse reactions may also occur, including decreased appetite, impaired digestion, nausea, and vomiting. Additionally, liver function abnormalities may develop,表现为elevated liver enzymes or increased bilirubin levels.
