Lung cancer is one of the most common and serious types of cancer. Around 47,000 people are diagnosed with the condition every year in the UK. Although there are not normally any signs or symptoms in the early stages of lung cancer, but many people with the condition eventually develop symptoms including:
- a persistent cough
- coughing up blood
- persistent breathlessness
- unexplained tiredness and weight loss
- an ache or pain when breathing or coughing
To coincide with the campaigns eighth year the Roy Castle
Lung Cancer Foundation have launched their #FollowMyLead campaign to coincide
with lung cancer awareness month. This
year they are focussing on cutting the clichés and finding a better way to talk
about lung cancer.
For more information surrounding the importance of seeking
medical advice if you are experiencing nay of the above symptoms and the
