King Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer, says Buckingham Palace.

It is not prostate cancer, but was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate.

The type of cancer has not been revealed, but according to a palace statement the King began "regular treatments" on Monday.

Buckingham Palace says the King "remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible".

“My stage 3 stomach cancer was diagnosed....”

What is the process for a diagnosis?

[Getready]

Just about every man (except trans-”men”)...gonna have prostate cancer if he lives long enough. Much of the time, they outlive it. Sometimes it metastasizes...that ain’t great...

Wonder why “gender affirming” surgeons don’t transplant prostate into biologically born women who want to become “men”.???

Camilla was a real bad second pick, imo . . . . stupid is as stupid does.

[SunkenCiv]

The second one wasn’t forced to flee, he died, and his brother took over — and his brother was forced to flee by “The Glorious Revolution” which resulted in the joint reign of William III (and II of Scotland) and Mary II.

[hanamizu]

Of the last two, the first was beheaded and the second forced to flee.

No, Charles II had a good time as king. People got to party again after the dour Commonwealth. It was his brother, James II, who succeeded him who ran away.

DIANA’S REVENGE.

[stylecouncilor]

I’m worried about her too.

[NautiNurse]

Prince Harry is flying to the U.K. to see his father following the mystery cancer diagnosis.

Sounds ominous for King Charles' prognosis.

[V_TWIN]

The abject callousness of some people on this forum really sickens me.

[JudyinCanada]

Hope it’s not the turbo variety, assuming he’s all jabbed up.

I have mixed feelings about him, considering his association with Seville.

[Red Badger]

That was Camilla........................

[spacejunkie2001]

no doubt! what’s going on with her? so weird, especially that she’s so young and seemingly healthy

no telling on Charles as we’ll probably never get the full truth out of anyone in leadership, anywhere.

[verga]

I would never wish that on anyone.

[RayChuang88]

At the time of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, there was some talk that the throne should have been given to Prince William, her grandson, given then-Prince Charles’ age. That suggestion should have been taken up and Prince Charles be named the second Duke of Windsor instead.

[navymom1]

No. It has been explained. The figure was a monk or another man in a religious order who walked past.

“Just about every man (except trans-”men”)...gonna have prostate cancer if he lives long enough.”

The VA did a study many years ago and almost all men above 75 yoa had some form of cancer and most PCa.

[Publius]

I predicted upon Charles’ coronation that he would be known to history as Charles the Brief.

[hanamizu]

This is exactly why each and every man should have a PSA blood test yearly!

---

Yep, PSA test alerted my doctor to my prostate cancer and a few years later alerted him to a few leftover cancer cells after my prostatectomy.

Obama’s HHS told people that PSA tests were more trouble than they’re worth Although not a doctor nor a government bureaucrat, I humbly disagree with them. Get the test!

[Dr. Sivana]

Especially given the secrecy with what’s going on with regard to the Princess of Wales.

If they are “female problems”, they may not want to be too specific. Doesn’t sound like a gall bladder.

[devane617]

“Sounds ominous for King Charles’ prognosis.”

Agree. The announcement was not filled with smiles and sparkles. I suspect an advanced matastisi was found.
