Cancer journey has been a rollercoaster, reveals Kate

Speaking at Colchester Hospital, Catherine revealed the toll cancer takes on family and friends. “It is a life-changing experience both for the individual patient, but also for the families as well – and actually it sometimes goes unrecognised, you don’t necessarily, particularly when it’s the first time, you don’t appreciate how much impact it is going to have,” the princess told a group of users, volunteers and staff at the Cancer Wellbeing Centre.

The princess was diagnosed with cancer in March last year, in the same year the King was diagnosed with cancer.

After the diagnosis she underwent “preventative chemotherapy” and on 14 January she confirmed that she was officially in remission for cancer. The type of cancer has not been disclosed.

imageYesterday the princess praised the centre’s “holistic” approach to the support it offers patients, relatives and carers, which includes counselling and dietary advice.

Why is Nigel Farage so scared of his shadow? His party is fighting a by-election against a Labour candidate who, if he wins, is likely to become prime minister.
