William says past year “probably hardest in my life”

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

William has opened up about how difficult the past year has been with the cancer diagnosis of both his wife and father.

It’s nice to see some light being shed on the perspective of the loved ones of cancer sufferers. I hope that this might inspire a new patronage to help those in a similar position, especially knowing how privileged his family are in terms of comfort, wealth and access to top medical specialist.

Don't think they are following the methods of the Sussexes then?

You have no idea if Catherine has given her blessing to this or not. It is natural for people to ask William about the Princess of Wales and I'm pretty sure they would have agreed what is acceptable to say without being too personal.

@BananaNirvana do you have the powers to see into the future? If so then there are many who would love to hire you.

They all use PR not one of them are any better in that regard. Distraction techniques the government are also masters in it. Bury the important information in a big pile of shite that no one wants to poke through.

There were many posts on here and elsewhere about the POW cancer in the early part of the year and in hindsight it was seen by most people as distasteful to put it mildly. Yet here you are trying to stir up interest in these mawkish theories again. It's an unpleasant way to behave. Are you questioning the people on these threads who state that they have cancer too? If so why not?

I thought it was pre-cancerous cells also which is entirely different from having cancer.

Her video said that following her original operation it was found that “cancer had been present”. Not pre-cancerous cells. Cancer. Hence the chemotherapy

Well said 👌

Thank you, I hadn’t realised (not that it’s any of my business anyway).

This is just from memory so I may be completely wrong and am happy to be corrected. But wasn’t it that she surgery, when they examined whatever it was that was removed it showed the tissue to be cancerous. So they advised to have chemotherapy to make sure the cancerous cells hadn’t spread?

My dad had pre cancerous cells/symptoms. He didn’t have chemo until he actually had cancer. Couldn’t have the cells removed, it was a wait and see situation to see if developed into cancer. Chemo would have buggered up his immune system before having cancer

Cancer is vast, often medical terminology is dumbed down to offer better understanding or repeatedly wrongly by misunderstanding. Certain cancers are treated more aggressively than others with pancreas cancer being an example. Speculating on Catherine cancer is vile.

Let's not indulge all these people who want to diagnose from the brief information that was said and dispute the official version. Their usual mode of operation is to say " well it wasn't really cancer" as an attempt to discredit the Princess of Wales and the Royal Family. It is mean spirited and shows the character of some people.

If you’re including me in that post I’ve been too busy dealing with my own terminal cancer diagnosis to keep up with the news - that was the last I heard about it and I felt heart sorry for her that she was having to have any treatment at all! If it hadn’t been for the original post it would even have been a thought that went through my head.

Some breathtaking nastiness on this thread.

All of them that need it ffs.

Some of the comments on this thread make me despair.
Chemotherapy is not given if it's not required.

Jesus wept.

Edit: she didn't have pre-cancerous cells (I have no idea why the journalist would make that error). She had surgery, cancerous cells were found and chemo given to ensure all possible lingering cancer cells were treated.

Again. Jesus wept.

I can't believe some of the nastiness on this thread. Wtf is wrong with some people.
Catherine herself said the doctors had found that 'cancer was present' following her operation. Imagine disbelieving someone going through cancer.

Are you an oncologist?

How rude. The poster doesn't need to be an oncologist. The simple skills of reading and comprehension serves her well.

Some people will stoop so low to have a pop at the RF. Yes, they're privileged - it's an accident of birth, that's all. Cancer is still cancer. They don't get to avoid that.

I was just reading a post that popped up on twitter saying Kate had pre-cancerous cells not cancer. And preventative chemo rather chemo for cancer.
I then searched twitter and sure enough it's all over it saying how they have lied to the public. Strange!

Oh I see now this is addressed above

Absolutely this.

Having either his wife or Dad with a cancer diagnosis would be bad but they were diagnosed within about a week of each other and he had to keep it together for his kids.

What does that even mean? I have cancer and the expression the first time is usually chemo to mop up any cells. That means cancer cells. She had/has cancer I don’t doubt it you can see it in her face that’s she’s had chemo steroids etc. they wouldn’t give you six months of random chemo if there no cancer there. I’ve never heard of that protocol,

Chemo wrecks your body. You wouldn’t have months of it before you are actually ill
