Nearly two years after he was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer, King Charles III has shared “good news” about his treatment journey.
“Indeed, today, I am able to share with you the good news
that thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to
doctors’ orders, my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the new
year,” the king said in a video message on Friday.
The monarch said the milestone is both a personal blessing
and a testimony to the remarkable advances that have been made in cancer care
in recent years.
Buckingham Palace announced the monarch’s diagnosis in
February 2024.
Though the kind of cancer he had was unspecified, the
development came weeks after he was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate.
In his video message, the king said he was profoundly moved
by what he called the “community of care that surrounds every cancer patient”.
“But I have also learned something that troubles me deeply.
At least nine million people in our country are not up to date with the cancer
screenings available to them,” he added.
“That is at least nine million opportunities for early
diagnosis being missed. Early diagnosis, quite simply, saves lives.”
Since his diagnosis, Charles has visited cancer centres
across the United Kingdom, raising awareness around the disease.
Last April, he was announced as the new patron of Cancer
Research UK.
The monarch has also been a patron of Macmillan Cancer
Support for almost three decades.
