"I don't know how long I have left, but I try to stay positive and my attitude is that I'm living with cancer, not dying from it," he added.

He previously said that he first knew something was wrong when he experienced blurred vision. But what are the main signs of lung cancer you must never ignore?

The main symptoms are: A cough that does not go away after three weeks A long-standing cough that gets worse Chest infections that keep coming back Coughing up blood An ache or pain when breathing or coughing Persistent breathlessness Persistent tiredness or lack of energy Loss of appetite or unexplained weight loss.
