World Lung Cancer Day may have just passed on August 1st, but awareness, prevention, and early detection matter year-round. 🫁
Lung cancer can affect anyone—not only people who currently smoke. Knowing the warning signs, understanding your risk factors, and speaking with a healthcare provider about screening can make a difference.
Persistent coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, coughing up blood, unexplained weight loss, or ongoing fatigue should not be ignored. Having these symptoms does not necessarily mean cancer, but new or lasting changes should be discussed with a medical professional.
Let’s continue sharing information, reducing stigma, and encouraging early action beyond World Lung Cancer Day.
