Too bad the media couldn't leave her alone.

I was just posting! I just saw on CNN, after her abdominal surgery, tests showed the presence of cancer, and she underwent chemo treatment...

Too bad the media couldn't leave her alone. Honestly, if they had just released a simple statement, I would think they would have!!! King Charles did, and seems to have only received well wishes!!! Also, I think the speculation (ie the Rose affair, and other gross stuff) may not have been rehashed knowing she was dealing with cancer. Ugh. That's just my .02 |

I just saw this cross the break room tv. As a survivor, I hope that people will just leave her the fuck alone now.

That's just my .02 The trouble is, when cancer is being investigated in the UK it takes ages for the results to come back. Mine took 2-3 weeks for each cancer. Then it took a few weeks more to sort out a plan of attack, and things weren't conclusive for months. They have to be so much more careful with what news they release with the royals. I hope the media respects her request for privacy, but they won't. |

It is NOT like in the movies at all. I hope they leave her alone now. |

I was diagnosed with colon cancer last year on April Fool’s Day after an evening visit to the emergency room. The very worst part of it for me was having to tell my children and they are grown adults. I can’t imagine how hard it must have been for Princess Kate to have to tell hers. I didn’t want people to know because then I would have to talk about it and talking about it made it real Some of my relatives and co-workers did not know until I posted a picture of myself ringing the bell to end treatment. I hope that she recovers fully and has a relatively easy time with her chemo. And I really hope that she is allowed to do it on her own terms. |

Honestly, if they had just released a simple statement, I'm sure along with wanting their privacy, they were worried about their children. They needed time for them to understand that she is going to be okay, etc. without all the media spewing doom and gloom, scaring them to death. |

Just sad..............
All the hopes and dreams they probably have.
All the hopes and dreams the public has for William and Kate to lead the monarchy.

She spoke about the children.
I think they also considered and didn't want to take the well wishes from the King.

As a cancer survivor, I can imagine what a blow this is to her and her family. Your world just kind of stops and you need the time for yourself and your loved ones to process.
Not only is she recovering from what seems to be a serious surgery and then to have to undergo chemo on top of that?
I hope that her admission is good enough for the naysayers and they can back off of her and her family. Reading the 'news' that William might be having an affair and all of the bollocks and nonsense around that during this time must have been so disheartening. I'm truly sorry she is having to deal with this and I hope she can recover in peace.

I am very saddened at her news. My prayers are being said for her and King Charles, and prayers for the whole family.

When I first found out I had cancer, I wanted to crawl in a hole and never come out. It's hard enough dealing with the reality of it but having young children and the whole world making up ridiculous stories about you...I can't imagine how hard it must be for them. I hope she makes a full recovery. It makes me so sad. |

One million times this. And I hope each and everyone of you who has gone on and on ad nauseum baying for details don’t go through this and have a young family to consider and a father also being treated for cancer. Do you not think it’s enough that William is worried about his wife and his father? That he was left without a mother at a young age - no matter what the circumstances - that that will be preying on his mind. But no, it’s more important that everyone else gets to know what’s going on. She was only just holding it together during that broadcast. Shame on the lot of you - world wide - expecting details. Go and find someone else’s guillutine to gawp at. |

She looks very thin and wan. I hate that she has been coaxed out of her convalescence by trolls and conspiracy theories on top of everything else she has to face. She shows such grace as always. Now maybe people will leave her the hell alone.

It makes me so angry that people wouldn't just leave it alone and let her recover with the timeline that was originally given. But, the world loves drama. |

This absolutely breaks my heart for her.
And ditto to all the sentiments shared here. The speculation (not necessarily here, but out on social media). TMZ has been especially awful, both Harvey and the other guy admit the rumors were ridiculous but they still hinted at 'well maybe..' because they have a special coming out I think tonight on 'where is Kate'. Oh the money they've all made off of this. Wow.
You'd think we'd have learned after what the media did to Diana's life. As I type this I'm watching her statement and it's just breaking my heart for them. I'm sitting in my parent's house, in practically the same spot I sat sobbing, 30 odd years ago at Diana's funeral.
My heart goes out to our British peas as well. And hugs to those here dealing with cancer diagnoses. Ack. Tito, get me a tissue.

The day that William bowed out of his godfather's memorial service, I wonder if that's when she found out?
I really feel for her; cancer is such a scary disease, but I think it's moreso for a mother with young children.

I just saw this cross the break room tv. As a survivor, I hope that people will just leave her the fuck alone now. I wish her the same as well. I don't care what position she has, what people feel she owes them etc. She is a human and her job (or not being able to do her job) has no effect on anyone. Leave her alone. |

I had wondered if she had cancer or some other serious health issue because of her long hospitalization after surgery. I wish people would just leave her alone. Some things should be off limits.
