Worried I could have lung cancer

I am worried I could potentially have lung cancer 

I won’t lie I am a heavy smoker, not a chain smoker but I do smoke a lot

I have started tasting blood in my mouth, have aches all over my body, have a constant cough and feel more tired and fatigued than usual 

Should I get this checked out? How would I go about getting it checked?

  • A very warm welcome to the forum Lucy although I'm sorry to hear about your symptoms and for the worry they are causing.

    If things don't improve, or get worse, it may be worth booking an appointment with your GP to get this looked at. Even if it turns out to be nothing, it's always good to get any persistent or unusual symptoms checked out, if only for peace of mind.

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon but in the meantime, we hope your symptoms start to improve and everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,
