“The Leeds Lung Health Check has gifted me the opportunity to enjoy seeing my grandchildren grow up”

David was one of over 8,800 people in Yorkshire who took part in the Leeds Lung Health Check Check clinical trial.He was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in 2022 after visiting a mobile screening unit.
David said:”I was healthy and active and had no symptoms at all.I had no idea I had lung cancer until I took part in the Leeds Lung Health Check.Because it had been detected early the cancer was nipped in the bud,and I was able to have keyhole surgery to remove a very small piece of my lung.
“Life is good.I am back to enjoying playing golf,hiking cycling and fishing,happily retired and active.I feel a deep debt of gratitude to Leeds Lung Health Check for gifting us the opportunity to enjoy seeing our grandchildren grow up”
David continues to support the charity by speaking about his experiences and demonstrating the importance of clinical trials.
