Lung cancer can affect anyone, and spotting the signs early can make a real difference. If you notice any symptoms that are unusual for you or don't go away, please don't ignore them. While these symptoms can have many causes, it's always best to get them checked by your GP.

Common signs and symptoms include:
• A cough that lasts for 3 weeks or more
• A long-standing cough that gets worse
• Coughing up blood
• Ongoing shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Repeated chest infections
• Unexplained weight loss
• Feeling tired all the time

Early diagnosis and treatment can save lives.

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, please contact your GP practice to arrange an appointment.
