Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has announced that her cancer is officially in remission, just days after completing chemotherapy. In an Instagram post on the official Prince and Princess of Wales account, Kate extended heartfelt thanks to The Royal Marsden Hospital for their exceptional care during her treatment.
She also acknowledged the unwavering support of her husband, Prince William, and others who “quietly walked alongside” them during their challenging journey.
Adjusting to a New Normal
Kate shared that while remission is a relief, adapting to a “new normal” remains a process. “As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal,” she stated, adding that she is now focused on recovery and looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead.
Commitment to Cancer Care and Research
In her role as Joint Patron of The Royal Marsden, Kate expressed her dedication to advancing cancer research, clinical excellence, and patient wellbeing. “By supporting groundbreaking research and promoting patient and family wellbeing, we might save many more lives,” she remarked.
Kate also stressed the importance of holistic care and acknowledged the emotional and physical challenges faced by both patients and their loved ones during treatment.
A Visit to The Royal Marsden
During a recent visit to The Royal Marsden, where she received her treatment, Kate engaged with hospital staff and patients undergoing care. Reflecting on her own experience, she noted the long-term side effects of treatment and emphasized the need for continuous support, even after recovery.
“It’s sometimes harder for the loved ones around us. They need support just as much as I did as the patient,” she added.
Looking Ahead with Hope
The Princess of Wales ended her message with optimism and gratitude. “There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support,” she said.
