King Charles 3rd

how terrible, i hope our disgusting press are ashamed of their recent speculation and leave her alone to fight this now

We butt heads occasionally Clive, but never have I agreed with you more.

She is a huge asset to our country and a great role model for many women.

I was saddened when I heard about this earlier. What a time the royal family are going through.

yes imagine how it feels when both your father and wife are being treated for C 😕 at the same time

a very difficult time for any family and respect needs to be had for their privacy

You can't have it both ways, expect the country to stop and watch every time something good happens and ignore you when something odd happens.
Gossip is part of life, royal gossip just involves more people.

Hopefully now they know they will calm down a bit.


I suspect it's more serious than initial reports, but we'll know in time.

sooner you find things the greater your chances of beating them. - never fear diagnosis or avoid getting things checked early. ………. it’s often the difference between life and death
No news is better than bad news
Unfortunately I can see both sides of this, hope you find out early enough so a fix is possible but if it isn't you might be better off not knowing for as long as possible.

At least Kate will have had the best possible care, with no restrictions on tests or time.

Yes and perhaps some of those posting all sorts of unnecessary stuff will cut her some slack
How do people discussing possibilities on a relatively anonymous forum affect her or any of them in any tangible way?

Im saddened to hear of her health problems and hope for a full recovery for her, from appearances she’s the best of them after Anne, I have a soft spot for both.

If anyone should be looking at themselves it’s perhaps the palace for having her do a piece to camera to explain her serious health issues to the public. Could an official press release not have been a better option in first instance?

Tend to agree , Palace comms made a big mistake pushing the photos earlier in the week
You can't hide anything now

I’m assuming @JP1 was talking about the wider internet rather than TFF, though it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the King or William were both secret lurkers here knowing their interests.

It’s a very personal situation. A friend of ours has been battling C for the last year, they’d recently had a scan which showed a shadow on their liver. Had a cup of tea at ours with them midweek and it was a horrible conversation of wills, the future of their child and how they could speed their end to avoid pain. Yesterday they were told the shadow is benign and they could have a wonderful future after treatment ends. It’s only when you are in it you can fully appreciate the depth of jeopardy. Hopefully Kate will also have a positive outcome.

Yes. My mum has terminal Mesothelioma and is currently in chemotherapy. Last week I t caused a blood clot in her lung. Rushed to hospital and spent six hours in the ambulance waiting for a space in the hospital, when they finally took her inside she spent 12 hours on a trolley having regular injections in to her tummy in a public corridor. We are certainly not all in it together are we.
 
Anyone else raised an eyebrow at..
“My medical team”
🙄

No different to any other patient under oncology. They will be looked after by a select time of people, possibly an MDT, possibly not, depending on what is afoot. Specialist nurses who they will see again and again over time. Same consultant probably also. It is in this sort of scenario you realise even private healthcare has limits unfortunately.
