#Catherine, #Princess of #Wales, has #cancer
“In Jan, I underwent major abdominal surgery,” said Catherine, in a video posted on Kensington Palace’s social media. “At the time, it was thought that my condition was noncancerous. The surgery was successful, however tests after the operation found that cancer had been present.”
“We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space & privacy while I complete my treatment,” said Catherine, the wife of #PrinceWilliam & future #queen.
“This of course came as a huge shock,” #Catherine said, “& William & I have been doing everything we can to process & manage this privately for the sake of our young #family. As you can imagine, this has taken time.”
In her statement, #Catherine said that at the time her surgery was performed, doctors believed that her condition was noncancerous. The surgery was successful,…but in further tests, the doctor found evidence of #cancer. They recommended a course of chemotherapy, which she said she recently began.
