She's undergone treatment and has currently no evidence of disease. This could return but she seems fine atm. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy4y21xdkko (Thanks to Ivor Caplin's X feed for this news!). Informative thread from her. So she is technically terminally ill and the Cancer will return at some point but she could also live many years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To my suprise he's still serving as Governor of New Ireland, whatever that is. He's also according to Wikipedia the 15th-longest serving member of the British privy council. The list is quite interesting, tons of good pool possibilities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_members_of_the_British_Privy_Council Julius Chan dead at 85. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
