Kate, Princess of Wales, reveals she is having treatment for cancer
Sky News ^ | 3/22/2024

Posted on 03/22/2024 11:10:35 AM PDT by nikos1121

Kate, Princess of Wales, has revealed she has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing preventative chemotherapy. In a personal message, the 42-year-old said planned abdominal surgery in January was successful and it was initially thought her condition was non-cancerous. But tests after the operation found cancer had been present, she said, adding: "This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family."

Interesting statement, considering they initially denied she had cancer...

‘...”In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful,” Kate said. “However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present...”’

Okaaaay...

Philip reportedly died from some form of cancer. Then QE2. Sarah Ferguson diagnosed with two forms. KC3 with his. Now the PoW...

Is it something in the water?

My great grandmother died in 1900, in her forties, of cancer. Various types of cancer have always been around. I had an ovarian tumor at the age of 22 that the doctors told me straight-up might be cancer. It’s not a ‘modern’ disease, though bad health habits and poor nutrition may be making it more common in recent decades.

Dr. Nicole Safire thinks it is a form of gynecological cancer as well.

What is preventative chemo versus regular chemo?

Preventative chemo is when whatever tumor was found and removed is encapsulated and has not spread; the chemo is an additional safeguard against any spreading.

Patients who have tumors that have spread to the bloodstream, lymph system or other sites in the body can also receive chemo treatments (presumably that's what you meant by "regular") and also radiation or other types of treatments.

It’s not modern but was rare prior. None of my grandparents had cancer and only one other family member has had it. Yes, nutrition, x-rays/radiation, chemicals, medications—including vaccines have increased the prevalence.

I know. Other than her kids, she seems to be the least messed-up of all the royals.

I wouldn’t with the Big C on my worst enemy.

Prayers for a full recovery.

I didn’t say that it was as common in the past as it is now. I said that it’s been happening forever, and it has.

Very poignant.

Reminds me of my dear friend who has endured many procedures for abdominal cancer, and then a double mastectomy. Wouldn’t wear wigs, refused breast implants, and won’t do simple prostheses. “I’m fine with the body God gave me.”

She’s an identical twin, and they’re both drop-dead gorgeous.

Is this only coming out because of that security issue at the London Clinic...?

The DM opined that the timing is because their children got off from school today to start their spring break, so the family will have some time to buffer them from the inevitable crass media intrusions.

"She didn’t do all of that. She trusted the doctors and the science. Me, not so much."

My second oldest sister had a horrible family doctor. He never bothered to do tests, even after she consistently showed high blood pressure on her visits. She put it off to "white coat syndrome," but it was nothing of the sort, and he accepted her excuse every time. Due to uncontrolled blood pressure, she ended up with four aneurysms in her head, and she only found out about those, because her eye doctor told her he thought she'd had a stroke, so he referred her to a neurologist. She ended up having surgery on her inner carotid artery, which they tied off. She had one large aneurysm on the right side, which had caused that eye to turn in. The carotid surgery managed to stop the feed to three of the aneurysms. She had one small one in the back of her head that they would continue to monitor. My sister had been a smoker, and stopped cold turkey, and never smoked another cigarette in her life. She did end up having surgery on the eye in order to straighten it.

Five years after the surgery, she finally decided to change doctors. A long-time friend of hers recommended her own doctor, so in February of 2010, she saw him for the first time. After checking her over, he told her she had lung cancer. Her friend had taken her to the appt., and she asked my sister what she thought of the doctor when she came out of the office, and my sister, who always had a sick sense of humor, said: "Oh he's great. He just told me I have lung cancer." To make a long story short, she did indeed have inoperable lung cancer, and died in Sept. 2011, but she went through hell those 18 months, and frankly, for her, it wasn't worth it. She ended up with more physical problems than any of it helped. She suffered from radiation burns on her back, swallowing problems, bronchitis, radiation pneumonia, fatigue, etc. All this taking place in the 6 or 7 months after being diagnosed. The February before she died, she was still considered to be in remission, so she had cataract surgery on both her eyes. After the second one, her friend dropped her off at her home, and sometime shortly after, my sister passed out in the bathroom, smashed her face on the bathtub, and it took six hours of surgery to put her face back together. On July 1st that year, she ended up in hospice care, and that's where her story ends.

That’s what I’m thinking. Cancer rates among younger people are skyrocketing these days.

That was a trend that started long before the pandemic and certainly before any vaccines. The data showing the 78% increase was taken from 1990 to 2019.

It was Rita Wilson. Initial biopsies said no cancer. Another opinion showed “invasive lobular carcinoma” . She then had it confirmed with a third pathologist.

I had two pathology reports done. Second one was more thorough in my opinion.. found more... but still not cancer. If one had come back showing cancer I would have gotten a third opinion. Second pathologist actually called me and answered questions. First pathologist did not talk to me. I think it is pretty rare to get a pathologist to talk to you if your just the average person.

They can say that.

But the House of Windsor doesn’t have a great record for truth telling.

If course, if any of these cancers are CoupFlu vaxx-related, I seriously doubt the UK’s Deep State would want that getting out, would they.

If it comes out that the Windsors are helping their Deep State cover up vaxx-related cancer diagnoses...

Might put a different spin on that security issue at the London Clinic.

She looks quite washed out (understandably).

I wish her well and pray she has a full recovery.

I can tell her children love her.
