…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”

[Ammi]

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

[Ammi]

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

[Ammi]

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

…yes indeed, Arista, when Kate made her public announcement following all of the crazy speculations etc…

I think they got quiet a scare as anyone would and Kate and Wills are prioritising their children over public duties, and good for them

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.

Thanks Ammi

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

[Liam-]

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

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.

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

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...

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

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
