November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide. With the disease claiming more than 35,000 lives in the UK every year and a shockingly short six months average time between diagnosis and death it is crucial that awareness of this cancer is raised.
Organisations such as The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation strive to raise awareness of this disease. Awareness leads to greater chance of early diagnosis. The earlier the diagnosis, the better the chance is of swift lung cancer treatment and the ability to beat the cancer.
