Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer in Ireland, with an estimated 1900 deaths per annum. “I think everybody that is diagnosed with lung cancer - you come out, you’re in a daze. “When you have lung cancer you fight the fight, and you never give up hope”. Helen emphasised that non-smokers can still get diagnosed with lung cancer, adding the importance of identifying symptoms such as ongoing fatigue, an aching chest and a persistent cough. Susan echoed Helen's sentiment as she explained how this stigma has massive consequences, such as underfunding for lung cancer research.
