Princess of Wales, Catherine (Kate), announces she is undergoing treatment for cancer/ Gran Bretaña: la duquesa Kate sufre cáncer
Duchess Kate, wife of Prince William, heir to the British throne, announced Friday that her hospital stay and stomach surgery last January were related to her cancer.
In a video posted, the 42-year-old Duchess said she was undergoing chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer. The type of cancer was not specified.
Treatment is in the initial stage. I’m feeling good. I am stronger with each passing day.
~ confirmed by the British wife
Catherine insists she had gastric bypass surgery in January and initially thought it was not cancer. Subsequent investigations only confirmed its existence. It was a big shock. The princess insisted: “William and I are doing everything we can to deal with this personally for the sake of our family.”
He requested that his privacy and that of his family be respected during treatment. The statement comes after days of speculation: baseless rumors and conspiracy theories have recently spread in the media, especially the American media and social media. The court emphasized that its priority was to respect Catherine’s privacy and dignity.
Earlier, three employees at a private hospital in London, where Britain’s King Charles III and his daughter-in-law, Duchess Catherine, were treated in January, were fired from their duties for trying to access Catherine’s medical records without authorization. British media reported on Thursday (03/21/2024).
Kate’s health and well-being have been the subject of speculation since she virtually disappeared from public view in late December.
On January 17, Kensington Palace announced that Kate was recovering from planned abdominal surgery. “The Princess is unlikely to return to her public duties after Easter,” the palace said at the time on March 31. However, her absence fueled online conspiracy theories about the princess.
What did the doctor say…!!
Obstetricians and Gynecologists and Advisory Board Member of the American College of Surgeons. Greg Marchand says it’s “difficult to predict” what kind of cancer Kate Middleton has, but it’s likely early stage.
“Cancer usually goes through four stages, and the first stage would be when the cancer hasn’t actually spread anywhere and hasn’t invaded any other organs,” Marchand said on Media News Live Zone.
“Most cancers that are caught early and can be treated with drugs and surgery have very good outcomes.”
The 42-year-old princess did not specify the type of cancer, saying only that it was discovered during a planned abdominal surgery.
She continued: “I’m doing well and getting stronger every day by focusing on things that will help me heal my mind, body and spirit.” “Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and peace of mind.”
“Post-surgery tests revealed cancer. Then my medical team advised me to undergo preventive chemotherapy.
In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London, and at that time my condition was considered non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, post-surgery tests revealed cancer. “So my medical team suggested that I do preventive chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of this treatment.”
“It’s been a very difficult few months for our whole family, but I had a wonderful medical team who took good care of me, for which I am very grateful,” he said in a video broadcast from the palace. “
