Lung cancer

• Wheezing or difficulty breathing
• A cough that doesn’t go away, or a change to an existing cough
• Repeated chest infections that won’t go away, even after antibiotics
• Coughing up blood-stained phlegm
• Pain in your chest, especially when you cough or breathe in
• Swelling around your face and neck
• Difficulty swallowing
• Feeling more tired than usual
• Loss of appetite/weight loss

Testing for lung cancer when you have no symptoms is called screening. Currently there is no national screening programme for lung cancer in Ireland, but the Irish Cancer Society is working to change that. 

If you are worried or feel you may be at risk, talk to your GP.
