If she's having chemo I presume it could be many months before we see her. Poor woman.

@underscorer I hope you never have chemotherapy. Being able to work is not a matter of motivation, you are ill and weak and your head is not able to process much else
other than your situation. I am speaking from current experience and I find your posts and attitude insensitive and ignorant

Startingagainandagain · 02/05/2024 18:20

Whenever she decides she is ready and physically and mentally able to do it and her doctors agree.

The King decided that he wanted to work again and felt up to it, so he is doing that.

Let then both choose how to deal with their cancer treatment and recovery rather than speculate.

@Redglitter why is it worse for a mother of three getting chemo to a mother of one or two? Or a woman who is childless - is her preventative cancer treatment less sad?

Where the fuck did i say anything like that. Were not playing cancer bingo but this thread is specifically about Catherine. It's not about other people

Glad to see your other vile posts have been deleted

It's tragic for anyone, there is no point in comparing one patient's personal circumstances to another because everybody is different.

I did not know of 'preventive' chemotherapy (adjuvant chemo), before the Princess started having it. I googled and, apart from its use in tropical diseases, it is given to patients who have had a malignant tumour removed to try to prevent recurrence. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cancer/in-depth/adjuvant-therapy/art-20046687

It is a sad and worrying state of affairs for her and her loved ones, as it would be for anyone.

Adjuvant therapy: Balance side effects with benefits

Treatments given in addition to your primary cancer therapy can help reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.

What an utterly pointless comment. On an utterly pointless thread.

What a sad little life, Jane

meercat23 · 02/05/2024 19:04

I worked throughout my period of adjuvant chemo and radiotherapy. I felt it was helping my mental and emotional well being. However, I paid the price for that later and came crashing down when treatment was over. Completely drained physically and emotionally. I wish I had listened to advice to take time to recover properly and if that is what the Princess of Wales is doing then in my opinion she is absolutely right.

Except 'if you don't like it don't read it' doesn't answer the original question, does it? and I'd expect a dollop more empathy if you're going through the same thing.

Anyone would think you might have been a little more sensitive in that case. Catherine isn't having a "scare" though. She's having active treatment. If you're fortunate, then yours will be no more than a "scare".

It's not a matter of not being interested. or not - you know damn well nobody knows the answer, so I don't believe you posted with good intentions.

So what is my ulterior motive?🙄

To be fair, OP, whatever your motive in posting this thread, it is rather an open invitation for unpleasant comments and speculation about the Princess of Wales during her treatment. If you didn’t see that as a consequence then you didn’t really think this through. It does seem to lead on from the “where is Kate” unpleasantness that ensued after her original operation

Your OP was extremely crass.

Sorry to hear this & I hope all works out well for you.
But honestly what does Kate's situation have to do with it?

And I'm not interested in speculating on a woman who is seriously unwell at present, but I read & commented to make the point that the thread is crass & tasteless.

Nono22972 · 02/05/2024 23:15

We don't know but I hope she takes as much time as she needs to recover physically and mentally.

A lot of people talk about how cancer affects people physically but not a lot talk about the mental effect.

Close to 58% of people going through cancer treatment will suffer from depression at some point and close to 30% of women suffer from post-treatment depression.

I know a lot of people have complained, comparing the way Kate's been dealing with her cancer compared to Charles who's been a little more open with the public and that so many cancer patients and their caregivers have to go to work but Kate probably just wants to be left alone and smile for the camera.

Most people insisting on her return are the same ones who've been trolling her for years.

I was the caregiver of a patient patient, my ex partner, all the while being pregnant with our first child and having to go to work everyday.

Had I had the opportunity of staying home during that period, I totally would have

And while I hope Kate takes as much time as she needs, the true question shouldn't be where is Kate but where is William?

I understand that this is a difficult time for him but he's been out 10 times in 2 months (only twice in April) and 2 of those were football matches, 2 of those were church services.

Some cancer treatments can last a long time. Let's say Kate is in treatment until the end of the year, does that mean we will barely see William too?

I'm not even being mean but the monarchy is all about being seen to be believed and public opinion.

William never did much before Kate was ill, so it’s not surprising that he isn’t doing much now.

I know but times are a little different now. A lot more people are now watching the RF because of what happened with KateGate.

While William was not responsible for the hysteria, him being MIA while his father was still out there carrying out engagements only fueled the conspiracies.

While the hysteria has died down, it's still very much alive. I'm still seeing daily tweets with tens of thousands of likes still spreading crazy conspiracies

KP won't be able to manage the "Why is sick Charles working more than William?" chatter until it becomes another big mess again

If they're not careful, KP will definitely be affected by what BP is doing and the way they're handling Charles' cancer

Kate doesn't need that again

William is still not responsible for the crazies though. Why should he have to change his schedule just because loonies are perpetuating bollocks? Whatever treatment the King has had it would seem that the adverse effects have been minimal so he has been able to continue to work. This may well
not be true of Catherine. And, as many have said, William (and it is said the King also), is keen to ensure that the Wales’ children have a relatively “normal” upbringing. William will have to step up more as his children get older, so it seems he is taking his “retirement “up front“ as it were, especially with his wife being unwell

Mylovelygreendress · 03/05/2024 18:51

Catherine will know that she will be closely scrutinised when she does appear in public so I hope she takes as long as she needs .
Having been through chemo , I can assure you it’s not a walk in the park.
But why do I have a feeling this thread was started to criticise W and C for not issuing updates etc ?
