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.

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.

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.

[badbrass]

I believe that!

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.
