November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month

Lung cancer may not always have symptoms early on.

The symptoms of lung cancer can include:

a cough for 3 weeks or more

a change in a cough you have had for a long time

a chest infection that does not get better, or repeated chest infections

feeling breathless and wheezy for no reason

coughing up blood

chest or shoulder pain that does not get better

a hoarse voice for 3 weeks or more.

If you have any of these symptoms, it is important to get them checked by your GP.
