But thanks to going for the NHS screening her lung cancer was found early.<\/p>\n<p>Jean said:<strong> \u201c<\/strong>I was still walking my dog, Dolly, and didn\u2019t have any noticeable symptoms so I wasn\u2019t sure whether the NHS screening was really for me. I\u2019m often the type of person who would rather not know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut a few people I knew had already been for their lung health check and they all said I should go so I thought I&#8217;d better get it done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;d been smoking all my life and was still smoking when I went for my appointment but there was no judgement. I\u2019d tried to give up a few times but it\u2019s so addictive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLater when the doctor told me I had lung cancer I couldn\u2019t believe it. I was gobsmacked because I\u2019d had no symptoms. I actually had to ask them if they were sure they had the right person because I felt fine!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After her diagnosis Jean, who is now retired, got offered help to stop smoking from Wythenshawe Hospital\u2019s onsite stop smoking service, known as CURE and successfully quit with help from the team and by using nicotine replacement patches.<\/p>\n<p>Jean had surgery to remove the cancer from her lungs in April this year and is recovering well following her treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Jean is now back playing Cribbage at the pub where she once worked and is encouraging others to go for their NHS Lung Cancer Screening and to stop smoking.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cIf I hadn&#8217;t gone for the screening, I wouldn&#8217;t have known anything was wrong. Who knows how long it would have been before it was found otherwise? I really believe it saved my life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know some people worry about what they might find. I understand that because I felt a bit like that myself. But it&#8217;s much better to know, because then you can get help like I did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter my diagnosis I was determined to quit smoking. It wasn\u2019t easy but I did it and if I can do it after 50 years then others can too! I had so much support from all the staff at Wythenshawe I can\u2019t thank them enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Professor Matthew Evison, Consultant Respiratory Physician at Wythenshawe Hospital, part of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, and Clinical Lead for Make Smoking History in Greater Manchester, said:<\/h4>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s fantastic to hear Jean is doing so well. Stopping smoking is one of the most important things anyone can do after a cancer diagnosis \u2013 it helps people recover from surgery, helps treatments work better and improves survival. It&#8217;s never too late to stop, and Jean is proof of that after 50 years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Throughout our lung cancer service at Wythenshawe Hospital, all patients who smoke are offered specialist support to stop, including nicotine replacement, nicotine vapes and medication and ongoing support throughout their care. Everyone who smokes and attends lung cancer screening in Greater Manchester is also offered help to quit. There&#8217;s no judgement &#8211; just expert support for anyone who wants it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>Dr Sarah Taylor, Associate Medical Director for Primary Care at Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance,\u00a0said:<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cJean\u2019s story shows why NHS Lung Cancer Screening is so important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost people who come for screening won\u2019t have lung cancer but it\u2019s important to come and get checked out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the very small proportion of people who do go on to get a lung cancer diagnosis by attending lung cancer screening their cancer is usually found at an earlier stage when it\u2019s much more likely to be treatable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>October is Stoptober.
