Lung Cancer Awareness Month November 2023

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month - according to Macmillan Cancer Support, more than 130 people are diagnosed with lung cancer every day in the UK.  It is the third most common cancer in the UK so highlighting the signs and symptoms of the two main types (small-cell & non-small-cell), as well as raising awareness of the treatment available is vital.
