HRH The Princess of Wales Is Being Treated For Cancer

[TheSquareMile]

Radio 4 announcing it now.

Chemo, like in your case, is given when doctors can't be sure surgery is enough to prevent the spread of cancerous cells. There is nothing preventative. Doctors simply don't know if those cells have spread, and the only way to make sure the cells are killed before spreading is by chemo as a treatment for cancer.

I really hope Catherine's cancer was diagnosed in the early stages and she'll go on to live a full life.

@buzzlightyearsaway

I have an incurable cancer and I had a second aggressive cancer in last few years.

The NHS was the cutting edge for treatment not Private

Go and crawl back under a stone because your narrative is incredibly crass and distasteful.

I would also say that most cancers are found out of other conditions and are accidental finds or A&E

But under the constitution the monarch is the head of the Church of England. A divorcee as the head of the Church is very damaging to the monarchy

Henry VIII and how the CoE came about ringing any bells here? (although technically I suppose HVIII wasn't a divorcee, two of his marriages were 'annulled.')

People misunderstand the press- press needs 'content' constantly - and hence with all the faux 'concern' which feeds into some people's desparate need for a constant need of gossip and tittle tattle- I feel for this lady and I'm not a monarchist. If you need to know the ins and outs of a situation like this and feel the need to make bitchy comments may I suggest you take a very deep breath before doing so - you have no right to know what's going on in others lives- the press just make you think that you do. I blame all these celeb shows and tittle tattle magazines out there too stoking the fires as part of their 'content'

She was called Lady Diana, which was her pre-marital title and name.

I'm sure I always heard her referred to as 'Princess Diana'.

Me too. When I told someone that my sister's cancer was terminal the first thing she said was 'Oh, she's decided not to fight it then'.

She was popularly known as “Lady Di” for years and years.

That is a fact. King Charles is a recent, very high profile example.

Mine was found when we moved home and joined a new gP surgery and their routine health tests when joining them resulted in more tests and cancer. This was around 10 years ago.

These days I'm aware of 3 screening programmes there may be more -

stool/FIT test aged 60 and every 2 years I think. Breast screen aged 50. I forget what ist called but a test for a valve next to the heart aged 65 I think. If you get invited, go for the test as they are free at point of service.

We have family that are docs etc, and especially in older people, its often an A&E visit for a fall etc and a scan that shows up more stuff.

Catching it in time is the key in the vast majority of cases.

It would be the same if it was something else. She has had to record a video telling people what is going on. I bet she would have loved to have said something about all those horrible theories but didn’t, she just focussed on the support.

whatever the diagnosis, I think people would still be saying these things about trolls, conspiracies etc, I know I would and it is the people that have spent the last couple of months thinking and saying that she has a right to privacy and believing that all the crap about lookalikes and similar ridiculous theories are awful.

She has a husband and 3 children and yes she leads a privileged life, but she also leads a difficult life and her children are going to be affected by this. They also have to cope with knowing the whole world is speculating.

It was her, the BBC showed the video twice on the news at 6 after Kate’s announcement saying Kate and William were seen at the Farm shop. It was her wether you like it or not. Look on iPlayer if you want confirmation. Stop peddling ridiculous conspiracy theories.

This.

I wondered about this too and thought it was an odd phrase. I presumed it was like my friend who had cancer of the uterine lining ,had a hysterectomy,the surgeon was confident he'd removed everything but she had chemo ' just in case.' Who knows? Wouldn't wish chemo on my worst enemy, have seen the effects in far too many friends sadly.

Of course it was her. What clearly wasn't a recent photo was Mothers Day one released by the palace. Very obviously not a recent one considering how frail she looked on the video. As far as I'm concerned the palace really let her down allowing that to be released, a statement would have done, no one gave a shit really before that and then it blew up and she took the rap for it.

@BigWillyLittleTodger why are you requoting what I said? The bbc have NOT confirmed it was her nor have the palace and anyone with eyes can see the farmshop 'Kate' looked nothing like the Kate we saw yesterday so seriously get a grip

Yup.

I lost my best friend to cancer at the age of 42 when she had a 5 year old daughter. She didn't fight anything, she was petrified from day 1 till when she died 2 years later. And angry.

It wouldn't have made one jot of a difference if she'd been positive or 'fighting', because cancer is cancer.

She definitely had some asshole friends and family members who thought she should have been more positive but it wouldn't have made a difference.

On the other side, I had a family member who was a chronic hypochondriac, the most pessimistic person you could ever meet who went into the pit of anticipating the worst possible outcomes of cancer who is still here 40 years later at the age of 91 and still manipulating people around them with their imminent demise. Which really wouldn't be a shock now or for the last 10 years but they're still here.

Treatment and good luck, that's it.

Look on iPlayer and see the two reports, it was her, both reporters said Kate and William were at the Farm shop, but you will believe your silly conspiracy theories no matter what so I’m wasting my breath.

A statement wouldn't have done for the conspiracy theorists, as we can see from the posters here and elsewhere who believe the Prince of Wales went to a farm shop with a body double.

You can't beat conspiracy theories. It just migrates to something else.

I guarantee they are still posting their crap on social media about how it's not the POW in the video or that it is, but she doesn't have cancer and it's really x, y or z designed to cover something up.

When it seemed really bloody obvious that Nicola Bulley had gone into the river for whatever reason; the conspiracy theories went nuts aided by 'experts' inserting themselves into it. Then when she was, very predictably found dead in the river, they didn't stop and said she'd been killed elsewhere and dumped, blah blah blah.

The post mortem and inquest said she'd drowned but even now, you have people making YouTube videos and TikToks about how that's not the truth and it's some bizarre cover up and conspiracy.

A lot of people aren't all that bright and social media gives them a platform to spread hateful, damaging crap.

Like I've said a zillion times before
I didn't believe there was domestic abuse divorce ambulances and police alien abduction but I have eyes and can see that person wasn't Kate. You're telling me with a straight face it is her and in the space of one week she's dramatically changed appearance again including her hair colour

lol so if you can see that wasn't her you must be a conspiracy theorist. Hilarious. Its just called eyesight

So immediately after Kate’s announcement in the same report, you are saying the BBC showed a pair of lookalikes and claimed they were Kate and William, as you seem to know more than the BBC I suggest you contact them immediately to inform them they have been duped and are spreading lies and false images.

Prince William decided to go to a farm shop with a lookalike while his wife with cancer was at home? FFS Get a grip on reality.

So can you explain how she looks fuck all like the woman at the farmshop allegedly last week ?

No he didn't but I truly believe the footage had been manipulated of a couple who wasn't them. Not that William hired a lookalike or KP booked them ffs
