Janet Finch-Saunders MS is encouraging all residents to check for signs and symptoms of Lung Cancer this awareness month.

 

The symptoms of lung cancer can include:

  • a cough for 3 weeks or more
  • a change in a cough you have had for a long time
  • a chest infection that does not get better, or repeated chest infections
  • feeling breathless and wheezy for no reason
  • coughing up blood
  • chest or shoulder pain that does not get better
  • a hoarse voice for 3 weeks or more.

 

If you have any of the symptoms, it is important to get them checked by your GP.

 

Commenting during Lung Cancer Awareness Month, Janet said:

 

“Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Wales.

 

“It is extremely important that we familiarise ourselves with the symptoms and signs of lung cancer so that we give medical professionals the earliest possible opportunity to help.

 

“Earlier diagnosis and rapid access to potentially curative treatments are crucial to improve survival. However, more people need to be aware of the significance of symptoms and go to their GP as soon as possible”.

Notes:

Lung Cancer Awareness Month

 

Mae Janet Finch-Saunders AS yn annog pob preswylydd i chwilio am arwyddion a symptomau Canser yr Ysgyfaint y mis ymwybyddiaeth hwn.

 

Gall symptomau canser yr ysgyfaint gynnwys:
 

  • peswch am 3 wythnos neu fwy
  • newid mewn peswch rydych wedi'i gael ers amser maith
  • haint ar y frest nad yw'n gwella, neu heintiau ar y frest dro ar ôl tro
  • teimlo allan o wynt ac yn gysglyd am ddim rheswm
  • peswch gwaed
  • poen yn y frest neu'r ysgwydd nad yw'n gwella
  • llais bras am 3 wythnos neu fwy.

 

Os oes gennych chi unrhyw un o'r symptomau, mae'n bwysig eu bod yn cael eu gwirio gan eich meddyg teulu.

 

Yn ystod Mis Ymwybyddiaeth Canser yr Ysgyfaint, dywedodd Janet:

 

"Canser yr ysgyfaint yw prif achos marwolaeth canser yng Nghymru.

 

"Mae'n hynod bwysig ein bod yn ymgyfarwyddo â symptomau ac arwyddion canser yr ysgyfaint fel ein bod yn rhoi'r cyfle cyntaf posibl i weithwyr meddygol proffesiynol helpu.

 

"Mae diagnosis cynharach a mynediad cyflym at driniaethau a allai fod yn iachaol yn hanfodol i wella goroesiad. Ond mae angen i fwy o bobl fod yn ymwybodol o arwyddocâd symptomau a mynd at eu meddyg teulu cyn gynted â phosib".
