King Charles III reveals developments in his battle against cancer

King Charles III announced on Friday “good news” in his nearly two-year battle against cancer, as he will be able to undergo a reduced treatment program in 2026, in a pre-recorded television message..

The six-minute message, which was recorded, was broadcast in late November as part of a Channel 4 television program aimed at promoting cancer prevention and raising funds for cancer research..

The 77-year-old king said: “This turning point represents a personal blessing and an embodiment of the remarkable progress that has been made in treating cancer in recent years. I hope that this will encourage the 50% of us who will be diagnosed with this disease at some point in our lives.”

He also encouraged Britons to undergo tests as soon as possible to increase their chances of recovery.

Charles III expressed his “deep concern” when he learned that “at least nine million people in our country do not have the screening tests available to them.”

He considered that “this means losing at least nine million opportunities for early diagnosis,” stressing that “screening saves lives.”

Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomed this “moving message” from Charles III, who took the British throne in September 2022..

Starmer said: “I know I speak for the whole country when I say I’m pleased his cancer treatment will be reduced next year.”
