Hi, thanks for contacting HCM,

Here u have not mentioned which chemotherapy given to the patient for lung ca. So it is possible to experienced side effects such a breathlessness, chest pain and weight loss after giving chemotherapy. And patient's underlying condition of ca lung could be predisposing factor for chest pain and breathlessness. Wight loss is the main symptom of any carcinoma.

But dont worry if chemotherapy works better and it tolerated then, symptoms experienced above will be resolved later on.

Hopefully my advise helps better.
