This November we’re supporting Lung Cancer Awareness Month by helping to raise awareness of the early symptoms of the condition.

Although lung cancer is not the most common form of cancer, it is responsible for the most cancer deaths in the UK each year (almost 35,000), which means that early detection is vital to help save lives.

If you have any of the following symptoms for more than 3 weeks, make an appointment with your GP today.

• A persistent cough
• Unexplained breathlessness
• Coughing blood
• Unexplained weight loss
• Chest and/or shoulder pain
• Tiredness/lack of energy
• Chest infections

In the majority of cases a visit to your GP will turn up nothing serious and put your mind at rest, but if the symptoms do turn out to be lung cancer, early diagnosis and starting treatment quickly could save your life.
