Lung cancer can be easy to miss. Survivor Donna Rigby brushed off her symptoms — shortness of breath, a nagging cough, fatigue — as “just allergies.” Thankfully, early screening caught her cancer in time. Recognize the subtle signs and consult your doctor about lung cancer screening. Early detection saves lives.

When Donna Rigby mentioned feeling winded walking from her car, her physician's decision to order a scan revealed early-stage lung cancer that was successfully treated with minimally invasive surgery.
