Edinburgh woman's constant 'wheeze' after camping trip fall diagnosed as lung cancer

An Edinburgh woman was diagnosed with lung cancer after finding it difficult to breathe following a bad fall during a camping expedition.

Jenny Campbell, 71, was devastated to discover she had lung cancer following an x-ray after putting up with a persistent wheeze for months and after finally attending her GP practice under the assumption she may have cracked a rib, she was given the life-changing news.

Following keyhole surgery to remove the tumour in December 2018, Jenny underwent three months of chemotherapy in February 2019, and was then recommended for an immunotherapy trial, undergoing 12 sessions which finished in May 2020.
