What a night 💟
#AllYouNeedIsLungs was a finalist for Best Charity/Not-for-Profit Campaign at the UK Social Media Awards.

We didn’t take home a trophy (apart from best 360 booth dancing 🕺), but we don’t need one to know we’re making a real impact in #LungCancer awareness.

‘For decades, #lungcancer has been viewed as a disease of older men who smoked. Now, cases among young women are on the rise and doctors are baffled. Could air pollution be behind it?’

A cough that just wouldn’t go away was James’ first sign of lung cancer.
“I’m a 45-year-old dad of 3 boys. I was diagnosed with stage 4 ALK+ #lungcancer in 2024 after a cough that got so bad I couldn’t hold a conversation.” #LCSM

Alice was 39 when she learned she had stage 4 ROS1+ #lungcancer. Before that, she was told it was asthma, then pneumonia, & even spent 2 months in hospital.

Lung cancer doesn’t discriminate - it can happen to anyone. #LCSM

Sylvie’s back pain was dismissed as sciatica but it was actually a sign of #lungcancer.

“I’m Sylvie, a 48 year old mum of 3 who adores travelling. In Nov 2023, I was diagnosed with stage 4 ALK+.”

Sylvie is one of 10 voices in our 2025 campaign preview - showing anyone can get lung cancer. #LCSM

Tina, a mum & grandma, refuses to let Stage 4 ALK+ #lungcancer stop her from planning for the future. Being diagnosed in 2021 was a huge shock, esp as a never-smoker. Symptoms included a persistent cough & ongoing chest/upper back pain. #LCSM www.allyouneedislungs.org.uk/volunteers-v...

Great to see this important step for our EGFR mutant patients: FLAURA-2 approval by NICE. Interesting to note that the reimbursement (Blueteq form) allows a single cycle of chemo if clinically urgently indicated, but no access if PD on adjuvant osi. @btog.bsky.social @egfrpositiveuk.bsky.social

BTOG wishes to inform members of a new NICE release that has been published today.
