Lung Cancer Screening
Lung cancer screening is now available in certain parts of England for people aged 55-74 who smoke or used to smoke. If you are eligible, you will receive an invitation for a check up and potentially a CT scan. It’s really important you have the check even if you feel well and don’t have any symptoms.

Many people have told us that these stories were of great comfort and inspiration, giving them some much needed hope in an otherwise dark and anxious time.
