…and all things relating to her illness and recovery etc…

Kate Middleton has revealed that she has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing “preventive chemotherapy”

“William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” Kate said

Kate was informed of her diagnosis following her abdominal surgery in January

I hope that she will pull through, not just for her sake, but for her really young children's sake too.

Because speaking for myself, I dread to think what losing a parent at that age would've been like, because children aren't really ready for situations like what Kate's going through, especially if it goes south.

She will now postpone her official duties to focus on her recovery

Thanks Ammi :love:

I wonder if she and Charles will be getting the new genetically coded cancer treatment

The one thing that baffled me though is that if she has already been diagnosed with cancer, why would she be having ‘preventative’ treatment?

I would imagine the cancer was removed during surgery but they're doing chemo to ensure that none has been missed that could potentially spread. Not really one it's possible to speculate much about though as nothing has been said about the type or stage of the cancer and both really make a huge difference.

Must be triggering for William either way, having lost his own mum at a young age. That'll massively ramp up the anxiety even if her prognosis is very good.

Because what they removed was cancerous they are targeting areas that will have more cancerous cells in them

Some cancers can see you off less than a month from initial diagnosis. However, we shouldn't underestimate the absolutely massive steps forward there have been in cancer treatment over the last couple of years. There have been mind blowing advancements

No doubt she'll be getting the absolute best treatment anyway.

There are lots of factors when it comes to cancer
But one thing we can all relate to is the fact it’s a young mother with three young kids regardless of Kate having married into the royal family

A doctor uses chemoprevention to lower a person’s risk of developing cancer, especially for:

People who are at a high risk of developing cancer. This includes those with an inherited cancer syndrome or a family history of cancer.
People who have already had cancer. Chemoprevention can lower the risk of a cancer recurrence or a new cancer. A recurrence is when the cancer comes back after treatment.

There been a huge huge rise in abdominal cancer in the under 40s females...could it be all this exercising?

Or the obsession with protein shakes and the like ?

I'm pretty sure neither exercise nor protein shakes are causes of cancer...

Recent research has shown though that the #1 predictor of cancer survivability (the people who fare best with beating cancer basically) is the person's muscle mass at the time of getting cancer. So for example if a powerlifter and a supermodel (both otherwise healthy/healthy diets etc) were to get exactly the same cancer at exactly the same time, the powerlifter would have a significantly better chance of beating it. So yeah. Get your protein in and lift your heavy things folks.

Oh interesting, I hadn't heard that. I'm ****ed then unless I start doing some weights :skull:

If all the scientists don't know the reason yet then neither do you. So dont be so certain and dismissive, just yet.:nono:

And..


Body builders might be more prone to getting cancer for all you know.

Love you Kate, please get well soon :love:

She's so young. Hopefully that will go in her favour. Get well soon!

I mean there is quite a significant amount of research and data on the causes of cancer. Obviously we don't know all of them but we do (even as common sense) know that fit and healthy people are less likely to get cancer than unhealthy people, and also that there's a generic element (more likely to get certain cancers if other people in your immediate family have had it). And that carcinogens exist. It's not still a complete mystery.

But it does hit healthy people as well.
For example, my late grandfather was a heavy smoker, but was healthy pretty much his while life.

So the worlds doomed then.

If you are more likely to get cancer if your parents had it.


Cancer is rising rapidly, and with that information will only increase more, and more quickly as time passes.

Pretty good article about it here,

Being overweight is a major factor, people are stuffing their faces full of stuff that is bad for them, and our western diet is doing us no favours

…I don’t know if anyone here uses or is familiar with the app, Yuka…?..strangely I was telling IthinkIloveyoutoo about it the other day…with my phone, it scans your food item and ‘analyses’ it in terms of good and bad health choices and it obviously picks out toxins in foods that are best to avoid altogether…not just food items but cosmetic products as well, it also analyses those things such as soaps and shampoos and deodorants and moisturisers and make up items etc..and even when things are said to have no additives and be more natural in their ingredients…?….its surprising how very many are a definite NO in their toxic value…I felt as though I always looked for natural ingredients etc …but realised that I didn’t nearly so much as I could and do now ….anyways, I’m quite obsessive with mine and with using it…and it’s something I would absolutely recommend to anyone else…

Not heard of that but it sounds useful, when my aunt got breast cancer her Macmillan nurse told her never to use underwired bras as they are associated with a rise in breast cancer cases, dont know if there is any science to it or something she observed herself but I have avoided them every since

The only quirky thing I’ve heard about cancer is that supposedly taking massive doses of Vitamin C ( power form) has had massive beneficial effects on the disease ranging from slowing it down to pausing it to even driving it away !!

God forbid I never get the disease but I’d definitely be trying it .. what have you to lose ??

When I say “ protein shakes and the like “ …

I’m also referring to all the other additives and things like steroids and gawd knows what else they the young people are taking nowadays

There’s a new shop near us just opened up just selling exercise additives and protein powders

…if anyone would like to look into the Yuka app and downloading it onto their phone to scan their products…?…this link tells you more about it…

https://yuka.io/en/

…it’s so easy to use and is basically colour coded from red through to amber and green, a traffic light style…it also gives you a score on the product that you’re scanning…

Excellent (75 to 100)
Good (50 to 75)
Poor (20 to 50)
Bad (0 to 25)

…it’s not an app that has any product sponsorship …so no conflict of interest or biases etc…

I might try this. I'm never sure if I'm making the right choices when I'm food shopping.

Yes nice of her to do that broadcast
last Friday at 6PM

Headline today said she may save millions with her announcement....3 months later!

People's diet (I can tbf eat a lot of unhealthy junk too, so I'm not meaning to attack anyone else that's guilty of doing it,) and I do suspect that some of the chemicals that we sometimes use on our bodies, such as Perfume or Deodorant, are increasing our chances of developing Cancer.
