Lung cancer symptoms can be vague but it’s important to speak to your doctor as soon as possible if you have a new persistent cough, shortness of breath and wheezing, chest pain, a hoarse voice, you cough or spit up blood, have unexplained weight loss, or feel oddly fatigued for more than three weeks. Survival rates improve dramatically when healthcare professionals can respond to the early signs of lung cancer.
