King Charles III / Royal Family

[robfosters]

If he found it too much to carry on as monarch, I wonder if he’d abdicate or we’d have a regency.

 

[Participant]

Could be haemo.

I'm not sure how his sexual orientation is relevant

 

[dirtychinchilla]

Hope he’s alright. Lucky that prostate cancer is so treatable these days

 

[floatindolphin]

Why are they all wearing black on the itv news?

 

[adam cool dude]

I am sure he has proper check ups weekly and has the best doctors available to mankind. I am sure they have gotten it early and will treat accordingly.

 

[Hagar]

I expect it is prostate still. i had two investigations before mine was identified and i chose to have it removed. I don't know if he has. The treatments could be radiotherapy or hormones.

 

[chrismscotland]

We're going to have Nicolas witchell simpering all over the TV now until he's cured or dead

I thought Nicholas Witchell was the prostate issue he was having treated

 

[StriderX]

Very sad news. I hope they can catch it in time.

Too many people getting cancer these days.

A consequence of living longer for the most part.

He hasn't got prostate cancer.

 

[Richard - London]

We've been sold a ******* lemon, we got decades out of the last one, now the new one is already coming to bits.

 

[Tombstone]

I'm not going to lie and without wanting to sound too callous, if he ends up needing to step aside for William and Kate it would probably actually be a good thing. I'd like a younger King/Queen after so long of having an older monarch.

 

[Jokester]

Discovered during a prostate procedure.

I’m guessing bladder or bowel cancer. Both often asymptomatic in the early stages

Yeah, assumed this would be "just" prostate cancer, but that's possibly something a bit more serious, though maybe caught early in that case. Would have to think he's extremely poked, prodded and scanned.

 

[rare]

Very much wish him all the best.

I'm in the middle of Radiotherapy AND Hormone treatment, then to cap it some HDR Brachytherapy

He’s a fair age at 77 so won’t be too long until it happens anyway (not trying to be mean about it).

When the news started they were so downcast I thought we’d gone to war or aliens had invaded.

 

[matthewhotdude]

Hold press, don't print the money just yet

 

[iamdjdz]

Not pleasant, hopefully he recovers OK. Hard for the immediate family no matter his status.

Best of luck with the treatment.

He isn’t 77 is he? Thought he was born in 1948

Bowl or bladder is my guess. I would have thought he would have regular blood tests which should have identified any kind of haematological condition. He certainly would have had one before the prostate treatment, so they would have known about it very quickly if it was.
