I had major abdominal surgery at 33 for a bowel resegment, colon cancer was found, and removed. After a month of recovery I started 9mo's of Folfox chemotherapy. That was over 10yrs ago. I'm not saying that is what Kate has but I do sympathize. Important fact chemo is accumulative so each treatment is profoundly harder than the last, it's exhausting physically and mentally convincing yourself to go to another round of chemo after being told the cancer was removed. You do for the people you love. I'm glad Kate has 3 kids who love her and I hope she has a speedy recovery

She had to tell her medical condition because the tabloids were going insane. Sucks she could not keep this private as it's no ones business but hers

[Mapleleaffarm]

As a cancer patient myself, for a layman the word preventative means they found some cancer cells and are giving chemo as an adjuvant. I knew what she meant.

No matter what her condition, she’s going to put up a brave front for her family and for the media that reports to the world. I wish her the best.

[Squeegee]

Her own medical issue. It's her right to keep all of her medical history private.

Dear Princess Kate, I'm sending prayers for you and your family.

I have a friend who had a hysterectomy. Cancer was found, but was localized. She had several rounds of chemo in case any cells had got in her bloodstream. That was around 2008 and she is fine today.

Dr. Gupta NOTHING ELSE NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED IN ANY WAY. It's between Catherine, her doctors & William, her husband, if she so chooses. FULL STOP!!!

Praying for Kate, her children and Will. May God continue to bless you and give you strength!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Amen ❤

My husband is a doctor and when I told him about Kate’s message about preventative chemo he also said they do not use chemo as a preventative measure. He also said she has cancer and that would be the only reason for administering chemo. I wish her the best and a speedy recovery 🙏🏼

Preventative chemo isn’t that hard to figure out. 🙄 she said the surgery was successful meaning they got the cancer. Most times when that happens they still get chemo to PREVENT a reoccurrence. That happened with my mom. She had a rare uterine cancer. They got it all but wanted her to get both chemo and radiation treatments.

Her medical issues are private and not anyone else’s business. She was already basically forced to make a statement and did so graciously, now leave her alone.
