My dad went back and forward for a couple of years before his lung cancer was diagnosed. By the time it was, it was too late and he died 4 months after diagnosis. I haven't seen the new advert, don't know if it's going to be shown in Scotland, but anything that raises awareness must be a good thing.
It sounds as though you have had a rather raw deal there Gaz. When the health system fails a person they do it big style it seems. Spirits are fine here and wish you the same xx
Lets hope they make less mistakes now with the new advert. They may have failed me so far but hopefully less people will now.
I went to my gp and said I had been coughing for about 3 months, sent me for an X ray that day and 2weeks later I was told I had COPD. It wasn't quite but still never mind . This was as a result of a very similar ad.
