Youth in Asia 1,086 Posted February 6 My money's on stage 1 or 2 bowel cancer. He has been eating lots of red meat at banquets for his whole life, it must have taken its toll. He also looks a bit thinner, which is a symptom of bowel cancer. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,569 Posted February 6 This is going to be a tricky one to call I suspect that there are going to be a lot of teams in 2025 which will feature King Charles at the expense of lower profile possible sicker people. I think I will wait till the later part of the year and she how he looks after the treatments He needs to go to November to beat Richard III who was the last King to be buried in this country..... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,581 Posted February 6 Rishi Sunak says the cancer was caught early. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrWonderful 480 Posted February 6 7 minutes ago, The Old Crem said: Rishi Sunak says the cancer was caught early. Still could mean so many different outcomes. If it's pancreatic cancer caught early, for example, maybe he'll hang around for a while like Ruth Bader Ginsburg did, who lived for 11 years after her initial diagnosis. I don't think it's something as relatively tame as thyroid cancer, just based on the wording and tone of everything that came out. Whatever it is, I hope he beats it.

Neol Edmunds 73 Posted February 6 15 hours ago, Sod's Law said: Rectal cancer would probably be most likely (though nowhere near certain, I'll admit). It's close to the inspection site, it's not a near-death sentence like liver or pancreatic cancer but it's still not something you can be certain he's ever going to recover from. Probably why he told William to stay off the pegging while both he and the PoW were in hospital. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that works - Workington haven't been higher than the third tier (and that was over 50 years ago), I'm thinking that's a place that needs a future! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has surpassed Lady Jane Gray, Edward V and Edward VIII and Richard III is next I was referring to England, the country (one of them) he is king of and where a significant number of poster here reside 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

openviews 333 Posted February 7 Anyone else think William is looking like he's lost a bit of weight in these photographs from today? Fergie, Kate and now Charles in the space of a few weeks. Anyone checking if maybe Putin has infiltrated the kitchen at the Palace. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livingbygrace 314 Posted February 7 It is hard to see what the royal family has had to deal with in the last short few years. Deaths, plagued with all sorts of health issues from numerous members, discord among family members.. Pray they can get through it together and with the country. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,569 Posted February 7 Surely the brevity of the Harry visit is actual good news. He has shown up to offer support and condolence to his father (as is fit) has been reassured as to the nature of the illness and current prognosis and buggered off home because there is nothing else for him to do. If they were talking weeks or months then I think he would have stayed longer because there would have been more to discuss 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,575 Posted February 7 I couldn't log on yesterday due to internet connection issues so don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but the Urology sister I spoke with today has said it's most likely bladder cancer based on where they did the tests. NHS referral treatment for cancer are done within 2 weeks. So private will of course get done like 2 days after diagnosis etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
