The Princess of Wales has cancer!
 

Only the best to you Kate and your family!

about a month ago or so it was announced

It was fun listening to all the conspiracy theories out there. My first and only thought was when she had surgery, she either had some major complications or they found something. Must be sad to be watched 24/7 and never get off that train. But then why try the photo shop thing and add to the fire.


Who wouldn't want privacy after finding out that on top of whatever you went in for, you now have cancer to deal with too. Not a royal watcher, cold care less about the royal family but wish her well with whatever she is battling. Cancer sucks.

sorry wrong person

My best friend's wife has been fighting cancer for the past 2 years, spread from colon to liver and then lungs. She's a wonderful person but it didn't make the news.

I have lost friends and relatives to cancer, it's a horrible thing, but royalty means no more to me than anyone else, and far less than friends and relatives.

Amen to these comments.

Recently lost my father to Leukemia and SIL is battling cancer on her brain and liver now, no special attention from the news for them... but not needed either.

Would be nice if the media reported on actual news...

In saying this, hope she is able to battle through it. You know she will have the best Dr's and medicine available!

Cancer isn’t the death word anymore. Chances are 25% of us will incur cancer in our lifetime. Various stages 1,2,3,4. The worst stages chance of survival is good, and don’t panic. Cancer Need to recognized early ,and follow oncologist/ team plan. New treatments such as Immunotherapy has greatly improved in the fight against cancers. I am believe princess of Wales will recover from this nasty disease.

Positive thoughts for your family members!

My dad battled and won for now Prostate Cancer. Lost several grandparents to cancer. Mother has ongoing issues with skin cancer and is keeping on top of things.

Cancer sucks!!

Speaking of the media, apparently it's big news that Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are no longer engaged. I had to google who these winners were, but it's all over the news regardless. The crap that makes headlines these days gives me an eye cramp sometimes. Reminds me of those reality TV shows like the Kardashians. Who cares! You'd think the crisis in Haiti, Gaza, Ukraine, and other places would be front and center yet you have to go digging for facts on those topics.

And as said, hope the princess pulls through well. The good thing is she's relatively young and healthy. She'll have top notch British care for sure.

The attention in the news is because people want. I am sure she and her family do not. Blame your fellow man.

Leukaemia can be nasty. God bless to your family.

I kinda figured this was the case, she had a major abdominal surgery a few weeks ago, probably didn’t want to make a cancer announcement at the same time as Charles. Hope she has a full recovery, can’t be easy as she is a mother of young children

I went through it for 5 years and never made the news .
That said I think if she had her way this wouldn’t be in the news either. Relentless Nosey in your face media demanded it. Damn the media and a pox on them all!

Incredigirl played Kate's address for me this afternoon. It was very classy and composed (link here).

While I'm kind of in the "who cares about the Royals" camp, Incredigirl was touched. She's been fighting stage three Ovarian cancer for two years now and the message of "you're not alone" resonated with her, as it should.

I wish Kate and her family well.

I too wish Incredigirl the best! As with all!

It just shows "you don't know the whole story!" sorry for all who is suffering with whatever!!

I believe that!

My personal fight
 

I wish her nothing but the best cancer is a nasty disease for the young or the old, I spent countless hours with a very dear friend while he withered away and was with him when it sucked the last breath out of him on October 16.

I know all to well as I have been fighting a personal battle with leukemia for the better part of 9 years now, there is never an easy day physically or mentally, the side effects from the drugs alone needed to keep me alive are grueling and draining on the body, but it is what it is the fight goes on day by day, it chose me and be dammed if I'll go down without a fight.

Sorry for your friend! Good for you!

Getting cancer is not good . It can be found in the poor ,rich or famous people
It always goes after good people I find. You can throw hundreds of dollars in research towards it . Does not matter who the Doctor is . But they always treat it it the same way they did 40 years ago . Nothing has changed . Just finding it sooner gives a person a better chance .....Get test yearly

A friend has a glioblastoma which is an aggressive brain tumour , usually fatal within one year . Rough on him and his family as he keeps the place up and keeps it all together.

The doctor treating him said there is an epidemic of brain tumours now and no one knows why or at least they aren't sharing that with the rest of us

They know
 

Odds are, the medical community has some insight into the proliferation of brain tumours over the last 15ish years, as well as the increase in colorectal cancers since the mid-90s. But, there are careers to think about while huge corporate profits are being made...best to not be the one caught rocking the boat. :thinking-006:
This time it isn't the tobacco lobby calling the shots.

OT- Hope they caught it early and she makes a full recovery.

I hate to say it but ever since the Jab has been popular there has been an incredible increase in Turbo Cancers. :thinking-006:

"The surgery was successful," Kate said. "However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment."

The type of cancer was not disclosed.

Probably one of those female cancers with an excellent prognosis if diagnosed early and we can expect she's had the best of medical care up to now. It's not a doom prognosis. Chemo isn't fun, one can't blame her for taking time off.

Wishing Kate nothing but the best, This Cancer thing is a horrible disease, lost my youngest brother 3 years ago, myself got diagnosed with skin cancer last June, in September they cut out a huge chunk on my back and now I’m clean, had a follow up 3 weeks ago and all is still good.!

Look up Dr. Makis. He is Canadian and has been screaming about turbo cancers lately.

I’ll mention it again.

Get a FIT test at age 40 if you have family that have had colon cancer. If not get a FIT test by age 50.

Had I been tested earlier… maybe the cancer would have been stopped far earlier and saved me three major abdominal surgeries.

I will also speak to fear many have. One is scared in the face of signs of cancer and the brain may want to ignore it.
Given today’s medicine… catching it sooner than later can make for a dramatically different outcome. Don’t self diagnosis this timing also. Get the doctor to do it.

Also for me the symptoms of my lactose intolerance masked the cancer. So regular check ups is key.

Stay healthy folks.

Your friend also wasn't hounded and bullied by the media and the public into disclosing her private medical condition to the world either. The conspiracies and ridiculousness surrounding this situation was rampant and because they are the Royal family, she can't just do her thing away from the public eye.

Best wishes to Incredigirl, fantastic to hear that Kate's message gave her comfort.

And that is exactly the point. Her medical situation is absolutely nobodies business aside from family and friends. The idea that a Royal or celebrity has any obligation to keep their private life in the public eye is ludicrous.

Twisted, sorry to hear about your wives colon cancer. Lost my mother to colon cancer, a very tough journey for you, your wife and family.
Princess if she has colon cancer very serious especially at such a young (42) age.
