In a statement released by Prince William, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, revealed that she had taken a break from royal duties due to her cancer diagnosis.
She was admitted to hospital in January for abdominal surgery. She then announced that she was later diagnosed with the disease and was receiving preventative chemotherapy treatments.
In response to the video, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a CNN medical correspondent, discussed Catherine’s cancer diagnosis and the use of the term “preventative chemotherapy” in her statement. He said that the term is very non-medical.]
In her statement, Catherine stated that there were still many questions that need to be answered regarding her condition.
She also said that she would like to keep her family and friends in privacy as she undergoes treatment. She added that she was looking forward to returning to her work once she is able to recover.
She stated that the news of her illness was a shocking surprise, and she and Prince William were trying to manage it privately.
It was initially believed that Kate would be able to return to her royal duties during Easter. However, it has been reported that she will not be attending the traditional service.
