The Princess of Wales, has revealed that she is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, although she did not specify the type of cancer or details of her treatment in a video announcement on Friday.
Kate had abdominal surgery on January 16, but the news wasn't made public until the following day when Kensington Palace stated that she was recovering from a planned operation. Although officials initially stated that her condition was not cancerous, they did not specify the nature of the surgery, only confirming its success.
During the video announcement on Friday, Kate mentioned that tests conducted after the surgery revealed the presence of cancer, indicating that she was in the early stages of treatment. However, she did not disclose the type of cancer or provide details about her chemotherapy. The statement from Kensington Palace clarified that Kate learned about the cancer following post-surgery tests.
Regarding Kate's treatment, the palace statement mentioned that no further information would be shared about her cancer or treatment, except that she began treatment in late February. The statement emphasised Kate's right to medical privacy. Typically, after successful surgery, chemotherapy is often administered to eliminate any remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence. Modern treatments may involve shorter periods or lower doses of chemotherapy compared to the past.
