Guest Posted March 22 What I didn't really understand is her saying that the treatment was preventative. Does it refer to something other than the form of cancer she already has? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,972 Posted March 22 Sometimes they do chemo after they've removed the tumor, so that it doesn't come back. It must be an aggressive kind of tumor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bentrovato 1,088 Posted March 22 Have a Princess of Wales and a reigning monarch ever died in the same year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Closest I think is Princess Charlotte of Wales dying in 1817, 3 years before her grandad King George III who was the reigning monarch at the time. My thoughts on this is that it wont prove to be anything (deathly) serious but i'm wishing her the best 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does it refer to something other than the form of cancer she already has? I heard Dr. Gupta on CNN suggest it may have been used instead of the term "adjuvant" chemotherapy, meaning alongside the surgery. Probably to make the message more simple. In that case, the tumor was probably removed and the chemo is simply to prevent it from returning, as has already been suggested. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arsewipe 202 Posted March 22 4 hours ago, Insane said: I hate how this thread had to be made but I understand why, I doubt she will die from this since she’s a royal and probably has the best health care in the whole of Britain maybe besides Charles him self but she has a better chance than Charles because of how young she is. Steve Jobs died from it and he was richer than the royal family. That said, I hope they caught it early and she makes a full recovery. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Currently I'd say low, it will depend how things progress throughout the year. Same for King Chuck III. Then again I wouldn't put it past the committee.

Youth in Asia 1,087 Posted March 22 I haven't been this shocked by royal news since Diana died. She doesn't have a family history of cancer, has a privileged life, although bringing its own kind of stress. But to get an abdominal cancer in ones early 40s is seriously unlucky.

millwall32 114 Posted March 23 Factors- she's 42, she's dropped 3 kids, she's never shown any particular health problems before, seems to lead an "active" lifestyle, no known unhealthy habits.Will be getting absolute best medical treatment available. Having said that if she's getting chemo we can say that the cancer has either spread or is likely to. And if it's "abdominal/stomach" the current five year survival rate for women in their 40's is apparently about 94%. So she's got a roughly 6% chance of dying of it, and the first set of factors probably drops that to about 4/5%. Not worth a bet in my book. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CNN has now claimed according to an unnamed source that she's been receiving treatment since last month. Just saw it on my TV while flipping between channels a couple of minutes ago. I'd be very interested in knowing how long William had between hearing about the two cases in the family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mind your own fucking business you talentless rent-a-quote. Amanda Platell can do one too. Wishing her all the best, but this coverage is beyond sycophantic. No wonder these royals act like absolute weirdos when they have the likes of Sarah Vine & Richard Kay writing absolute crap like that. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,140 Posted March 29 She may not even have any cancer now. If she's had an IBD of some sort and they removed part of the bowel, then found cancer cells in it, it may have been confined to that section. This happened to my mother after having that op to remove a blockage. Unfortunately the cancer found was a blood cancer and it had already migrated elsewhere. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
