Presenting symptoms
Many people with cancer experience breathlessness. The prevalence and severity often increase as their disease progresses and towards the end of life. People's experience of breathlessness is unique to them; they often report it as a distressing symptom and it frequently occurs in a symptom cluster together with fatigue and pain (Thomas et al. [269]).
