Lung Cancer Know the Symptoms, It’s not just smokers at risk!

Cancer Research UK have stated that although lung cancer in men has fallen by 47%  since 1975, in women it has risen by a massive 73%

Lung cancer is the 2nd most common cancer in the UK but is the biggest killer of all the cancers. In 2011 in the UK there were 43,500 cases of lung cancer with 35,200 deaths.  

Less than 10 % of people diagnosed with lung cancer survive more than 5 years although survival rates are higher the earlier it is caught.  It is not always easy to detect lung cancer as 25% of people are diagnosed before they display any noticeable symptoms.  In this case it is found on a chest x-ray or CT scan taken for other reasons.  

Not all lung cancer signs and symptoms are obvious to the disease but you should go and get yourself checked out if you experience any of the following

• A chronic cough that won’t go away after a few weeks
• Coughing up blood
• Repeated infections such as bronchitis & phneumonia
• Wheezing
• Fatigue
• General breathlessness and breathlessness after exercise
• A hoarse voice
• Loss of appetite 
• Difficulty swallowing
• Ache or pain in the shoulder, back, chest or arm

Of course as with all these diseases we believe prevention is better than cure so eating a diet high in fresh fruit and vegetables (organic is best) along with regular exercise at least 30 minutes 5 times a week is a good start.  If you are a smoker or are regularly exposed to second hand smoke then you should work on giving up and avoiding such exposure. Get your home tested for radon as high levels of radon have been proven to cause lung cancer. Wherever possible avoid exposure to carcinogens, such as chemicals at work , traffic fumes etc.
