‘I thought it was covid. It was terminal lung cancer’  Julie Smith, 73, lost her sense of taste and had a persistent cough The Welsh grandmother had recently returned from a holiday at Butlins when she took 4 covid tests because her symptoms were worrying However a visit to the doctors revealed she actually had terminal lung cancer, diagnosed a mere few months after her ex hubby died of just that  She hadn’t smoked since 1989, and regular screening isn’t widely available in Wales, so Julie thought she was fine However sadly the cancer has spread to her bones and lymph nodes, and is now incurable. Having undergone chemotherapy and losing her hair, Julie may only have a few months left NHS England has offered regular lung screenings since 2019 in some areas Get yourself screened, especially ex smokers Poor Julie

Cancer is a bitch. All of our lives will undoubtedly be touched by it at some point. The pandemic has made it so much worse with treatments cancelled, GPs unavailable, people passing symptoms off as either unimportant or covid related.
The effects of the pandemic will be felt for years sadly
