King Charles has cancer, Buckingham Palace has announced. He is undergoing treatment and has cancelled all public engagements.

That is sad to hear.  I hope he recovers quickly.

@MorningLover   Oh wow!  I sure hate to hear that.  Thoughts and prayers for him.

Yes, thanks,  @MorningLover --  the BBC said that the cancer, which hasn't been identified, is not prostate cancer, but was discovered due to his recent prostate procedure.

Sounds like that procdure may have done him a favor, in revealing this new diagnosis.   Hoping for the best for him as he steps back and undergoes treatment.

I pray for anyone facing that.  A friend of ours had very successful treatment for a similar situation.  Not sure if the same, but it was a great outcome--as I hope this will be.

This is a *new* diagnosis--  this cancer was discovered as a result of his well-publicized treatment for an enlarged prostate.  They have said, it is not prostate cancer, but have not identified what it is.

Prayers for King Charles.

It must be very difficult going through this publicly.

I just saw that.  Praying that they caught it early and he has a successful outcome.

Early diagnosis and treatment of cancer is very important.  I state this from personal experience.  In July of 2023 I was diagnosed with an unexpected (and unwelcome) Endometrial Cancer.  It was in the early stages.  With surgery and radiation, I am recovering.  Next week I have a medical checkup and in late April I have another checkup.  I am very hopeful that the cancer is OUT of my body. 

Please, please, everyone: if you or a loved one have any suspicious health issues that could possibly indicate cancer, seek medical help.  The medical technology doctors and other professionals in the medical field have at their disposal is quite impressive. 

You must be PROACTIVE.  Time is so important: the earlier the diagnosis, the better your chances for recovery and survival. 

Of course, King Charles will receive outstanding medical treatment.  I hope he is a good patient and is fully restored to good health with the help of his medical team.

I pray it was caught early whatever form of cancer it is , and it looks like they did .   Catching early is always the key .  Having his prostrate procedure  actually was helpful in detecting.  I wish him well .
