King Charles III says he will pay back cancer treatment thanks to early diagnosis

King Charles III said on Friday that his cancer treatment will be reduced in the new year thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to doctors’ recommendations.

Charles, 77, revealed the details in a recording broadcast on British television as part of a campaign to encourage people to screen for cancer in its early stages when it is easier to treat.

Buckingham Palace did announcement A year ago the doctors found cancer in the king.

The king said: “Early diagnosis simply saves lives,” said Friday’s king.

“I also know what the difference is in my case, it allows me to continue to live a full and active life even with treatment,” He added.

The recorded message gave Charles an opportunity to reflect on his experience in the 22 months since he announced he would be treated for an incurable form of cancer.

He said he was very concerned to learn that at least 9 million people in the UK have not yet been screened for cancer.

“That’s at least one in a million opportunities to catch early disease that they’re missing,” he stressed.

He pointed out how colon cancer is caught in the early stages, about nine out of 10 people survive for at least five years. “When it’s diagnosed late, that’s up to one in 10,” Charles said.

Royal sources said that it should not be assumed that the king was rushed for bowel cancer. While the palace did not specify what type of cancer the king had, officials said the cancer was diagnosed after treatment for an enlarged prostate that presented “a separate issue of concern.”

Charles’ decision to disclose his diagnosis was From the British Royalswho traditionally considered their health a private matter and shared few details with the public.

“Her Royal Highness has chosen to share her diagnosis and to prevent speculation and hopefully it will help in public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer,” Buckingham Palace said at the time.

Since then, Charles has used his own story to emphasize the need for early diagnosis and treatment. Cancer Research UK recorded a 33% increase in visits to its website in the weeks after the king’s diagnosis, as people searched for information on cancer symptoms.

The king stepped down from the public event about two months after his diagnosis so he could focus on his treatment and recovery. But he continued the business of the State and retained his constitutional role as head of state.

Charles returned to public events in April last year by visiting a Cancer Center At the University Central Hospital in Central London, where he met staff and shared stories with cancer patients.

“It’s always a shock, isn’t it, when they tell you,” he said, empathizing with one patient as chemotherapy drugs were drawn from his arm.
