The physician has conveyed that should King Charles’ cancer advance to critical areas of his body, posing challenges for treatment, his remaining lifespan may be limited to a few years.
Yesterday, admirers of the royal family worldwide were taken aback by the revelation of the King’s battle with cancer. This disclosure followed a medical procedure he underwent to address a significant prostate issue.
Buckingham Palace clarified that the cancer is unrelated to his prostate condition, rather an additional health concern identified during his hospitalization.
“The King’s prostate procedure led to the discovery of another health issue,” stated Buckingham Palace on Monday.
Subsequent tests confirmed that Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer.
The palace announced that Charles will temporarily step back from public engagements to focus on his treatment, expressing optimism regarding his prognosis.
“Today, His Majesty commenced regular treatments. Doctors have advised him to refrain from public appearances during this period but he will continue his official duties and administrative responsibilities as usual.”
“The King expresses gratitude for the swift intervention of his medical team. The timely diagnosis was made possible due to his recent hospitalization. He maintains a positive outlook towards his treatment and looks forward to resuming his public duties soon.”
King Charles opted to disclose his diagnosis to dispel speculation and foster understanding of cancer.
Radar Online consulted medical experts who speculated that Charles’ cancer likely involves his prostate and may have metastasized to his liver, stomach, or lung.
Dr. Stuart Fischer from New York explained, “Prostate cancer itself is seldom fatal. There are medications, such as anti-testosterones, that can impede its spread.”
“However, if the cancer has spread to vital organs like the lungs and liver, treatment becomes challenging. In such cases, his prognosis may be limited to a few years, if fortunate.”
Another expert, Dr. Gabe Mirkin, suggested that the cancer was probably detected through imaging techniques like sonograms, CT scans, or MRIs.
“Once cancer metastasizes, survival beyond five years is uncommon,” Mirkin remarked.
