King Charles Gives Health Update to Fans Amid Cancer Treatment

According to Express, the 75-year-old monarch was asked by a well-wisher how he’s been doing amidst his cancer treatment. Per the outlet, he responded, “I’m not too bad.” We’re relieved to hear it.

Earlier this year, Buckingham Palace announced that the king has been diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer. In a statement, the team noted that it’s a “separate issue” from his enlarged prostate, which he sought treatment for back in January. 

“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,” the palace wrote.

During this time, all of the king’s public engagements were postponed until further notice. “His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties,” the statement continued. “Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.”
