While more than a quarter (28%) of South Asian individuals surveyed believe that lung cancer only affects smokers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over half (55%) of South Asian survey respondents also believed that or were unsure whether lung cancer only affects a small amount of people every year in England, when in fact it\u2019s the leading cause of cancer deaths in the UK.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nasim, 65, is recovering from lung cancer following removal of part of her left lung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She initially went to see her GP as she was losing weight and didn\u2019t know why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cI have never smoked, so I didn\u2019t ever think it could be lung cancer. However, when my friends and family started pointing out that I was looking thin I thought I should get checked out.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Diagnosing lung cancer early dramatically increases people\u2019s chances of survival \u2013 those diagnosed at stages one or two are nearly 20 times more likely to survive for five years or more than those whose cancer is caught at later stages. As such, Nasim wants to encourage more people to come forward if they have symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She said: \u201cThe best thing that could come from my diagnosis and treatment would be that others read my story and go and see their GP as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you\u2019ve had a cough for three weeks or more, or something feels not quite right, please get medical advice and give yourself the best chance.\u201d<br>&nbsp;<br>As part of the roadshow, specialist teams of volunteers will assist the campaign to educate the public and help catch more cancers early. Thousands of people are expected to see the giant inflatable lungs in communities across the country \u2013 including supermarkets, shopping centres and local high streets \u2013 with the public urged to get checked if they have signs and symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The inflatable organs allow visitors to observe and learn about typical lung structures, lung health, and the effects of smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Community engagement teams and volunteers will be on hand to talk to members of the public and encourage those with suspected symptoms to visit their GP as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This comes as survey data also shows that just over a third\u202f(34%) of South Asian people surveyed would visit their GP if they had a chest infection that kept coming back, and a similar percentage would do the same if they had a loss of appetite or unexplained weight loss\u202f(36%), which are lesser-known signs of lung cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Jyoti Sood says: \u201cTens of thousands of people are diagnosed with lung cancer every year in England, but it\u2019s clear from the survey that many people in our community still think it\u2019s not something that can affect them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asianexpress.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Dr-Jyoti-Sood-GP_22-e1669807139607.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45930\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3333333333333333;object-fit:cover;width:350px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dr Jyoti Sood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis campaign is really important in raising awareness of the symptoms \u2013 like a cough lasting for three weeks or more \u2013 and encouraging people to get seen by a medical professional as early as possible. We know that early diagnosis gives the best chance of effective treatment and survival.\u201d<br>&nbsp;<br>Chief Executive of Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, Paula Chadwick, adds:&nbsp;\u201cIt is staggering that so many of those surveyed still do not know how prevalent lung cancer is. We believe this stems from a reluctance, even aversion, to talking about lung cancer, and that is largely because of its links to smoking and associated stigma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s why these events are so important. They give us the opportunity to have one-on-one conversations with people who may not realise they are at risk, who may not recognise potential symptoms or could feel unable to act on them.<br>\u201cIf we can help just one person get diagnosed earlier when lung cancer can be treated more easily, then that is worth doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The roadshow will travel around the country throughout the month of November \u2013 Lung Cancer Awareness Month \u2013 as part of the NHS Help Us, Help You campaign. The roadshow aims to begin conversations about the illness and its symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NHS\u2019s\u202fHelp Us, Help You\u202flung cancer campaign focuses specifically on raising awareness of the key symptom of lung cancer \u2013 a cough that lasts for three weeks or more. While it might seem like nothing serious, if it is cancer, finding it early means it\u2019s more treatable and can save lives.\u202fThe campaign will encourage those who have this symptom to contact their GP practice and remind the public that the NHS wants to see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In addition to the symptom of a cough for three weeks or more, other symptoms of lung cancer include:<\/strong><br>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; chest infections that keep coming back<br>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; coughing up blood<br>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a long-standing cough that gets worse<br>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; an ache or pain when breathing or coughing<br>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; persistent breathlessness<br>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; persistent tiredness or lack of energy<br>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; loss of appetite or unexplained weight loss.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>65-year-old Nasim is recovering from lung cancer following removal of part of her left lung.
