🌍 World Lung Cancer Day – 1 August 🫁

Lung Cancer

 

Today is World Lung Cancer Day, a reminder of the importance of knowing the signs and seeking advice if something doesn’t feel right.

A cough that lasts for 3 weeks or more should always be checked. Other symptoms can include:
• Ongoing breathlessness
• Chest pain
• Coughing up blood
• Unexplained weight loss
• Persistent tiredness

While these symptoms don’t always mean cancer, it’s important not to ignore them.

If you’re concerned about any symptoms, please contact the practice to arrange an appointment. Early diagnosis can make a real difference.
