Spot the Symptoms

YOU CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE
Lung cancer has still not recovered from the pandemic. There are thousands of missing lung cancer patients. Some, sadly, will have already died. Others, though, still have the chance of diagnosis and treatment, but we need to help them. We need to help them knows symptoms are in fact symptoms. We need to help them feel able to go to their GP and give them the information they need to be referred as quickly as possible. We need to support them through diagnosis and treatment. But this is no easy feat. We need your support so we can spread these vital messages to as many people as possible.
