Co Tyrone granddad backs Cancer Research UK campaign after lung cancer diagnosis

A Co Tyrone granddad, has backed a major campaign by Cancer Research UK after he was diagnosed with lung cancer. The experience of Lindsay McKinney, 67, from Dungannon, is at the heart of Cancer Research UK’s Spot Cancer Early campaign. He says he will be eternally grateful to his wife Una who urged him to contact his GP because of a persistent cough and breathlessness which didn’t go away.

A retired HGV driver, who has five sons, Lindsay first thought his symptoms were due to a bout of coronavirus. Lindsay, who was diagnosed with lung cancer in October 2022, said: "I’m so grateful to everyone who was involved in my treatment. My family, friends, neighbours and Una’s colleagues at work all rallied round and their support was amazing. But the person I want to thank most is Una, my wife of 35 years, who has been my rock. She was by my side throughout, attending every appointment every day for six weeks
