'Fit and healthy' doctor, 38, shocked by lung cancer diagnosis shares deadly symptoms
A 'fit and healthy' doctor has spoken out of the "complete shock" she felt at being diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of 38. Ruthra Coventry, a consultant anaesthetist from Aberdeen, is now urging people to be aware of the deadly tell-tale signs and symptoms to look out for.
"I had been suffering from recurrent chest infections, which I just put down to having a toddler bringing home from nursery. I finally decided to get checked out after having an episode of such excruciating chest pain that I had to go to accident and emergency.". However, according to a survey for the Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce , by Sapio Research, only one per cent of Brits can identify all the symptoms of liver cancer correctly from a list given to them, the Mirror reports.
Although Dr Coventry has since been "clear of any cancer" following her surgery four years ago, she hopes her experience will urge people to get any possible symptoms checked early. "Don't go by stereotypes of who you think lung cancer patients are - I was fit and healthy running around after my two-year-old", she said.
