The NHS treats cancer quickly. My dad was diagnosed in late 2021 (so peak COVID when everything was struggling).

He was seen within two weeks and operated on within the month.

Really? My treatment has just started - only been waiting 4 months or so whilst in the interim my cancer has spread and is now no longer operable.

Dogdilemma2000 · 05/02/2024 18:40

Hope he makes a very swift recovery

He still works at 75, probably works harder than a lot of people albeit in a gilded cage.

I do like the bad tempered old thing but get in car, be driven to event, say hello lovely to see you all, get in car, be driven home, is not exactly hard work is it? Not like what most of us do on here where we’re worked to the bone.

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 05/02/2024 18:39

Both my dad and Fil were seen within 2 weeks NHS. Certainly not the months people are claiming about on here. My friend's referral was quicker on the nhs than it was for her trying to get to see a private doctor.

So if Harry is coming over so soon, does this mean it's a bad prognosis? Hope not

Nah, he needs to work on getting back in the will .... pronto!

I was referring to William, as per the post I quoted.

I'm sure he will. Not like "us" who have to wait weeks/months

Do you live in a country without the 2 week pathway?

I’m not a monarchist by any stretch, but it’s quite a refreshing difference from the old Queen and Philip.

Hold up. Am I understanding your post? Refreshing? It’s refreshing that the new guard’s sick unlike that boring, always healthy, old guard? You need to dilute that schadenfreude.

They mean refreshing that they're being more open and transparent about illnesses.

Exactly. I truly dont understand all the handwringing. He's not got to try and juggle the food shopping, the kids uniform, the cooking, a full time job, financial worries. Yes it's his father and he'll still want to be there for his children and nothing takes away the emotional impact but there is absolutely no domestic load to carry.

Ah, poor old Charles. His kingship has been dogged with family strife, and now this. I hope it might prompt a reconciliation with his younger son and DIL and that his treatment goes well.

the80sweregreat · 05/02/2024 18:36

I honestly can't see Meghan or the grandchildren coming over. Might be better if they stayed away to be honest , it'll just turn into a circus if they all show up
( especially with the daily mail .. )

Can’t be nice for him but it’s not the same as if it was a normal person juggling everything, with no money and servants etc.

My cousin was diagnosed with cancer two weeks ago and my friend's sister in law died of it yesterday. I'm sick of feeling sad. I wish Charles all the very best.

I hope Meghan swallows her pride and comes with Harry and they bring the children with them

the80sweregreat · 05/02/2024 18:33

To be fair , most people I know who had a diagnosis or symptoms of cancer were seen within two weeks with the NHS.

SurelySmartie · 05/02/2024 18:33

IANAD (I am not a Doctor)

What was the point of putting the anacronym if you were going to write it in full?

HRTQueen · 05/02/2024 18:33

He is 75, in good health and has the absolute best health care so likely caught early

It’s just been announced that Harry shall be coming over to visit him that shall leave many disappointed …

BoobyDazzler · 05/02/2024 18:32

Poor Charles, imagining waiting for a job for your whole life and then getting ill a couple not years after getting it!

I wish him well.

ToHellBackAndBeyond · 05/02/2024 18:32

That's very sad news. I hope it has been found in time for a happy outcome.

Willmafrockfit · 05/02/2024 18:03

oh dear, i hope it is treated quickly,
poor william though
