In this statement she says she still has months of chemo to go… is this not a long time for chemo? Someone who actually knows chime in. Seems long to me for it not being dire but what do I know.

Also, there’s no way this photo was taken yesterday. She shows zero signs of treatment at all, namely weight loss in her face (on top of her already petite frame).

That said: I’m glad she’s feeling upbeat, positive and plans to attend this weekend.

In my opinion of all the cancer was gone and it was just preventive chemo she wouldn't have said she wasn't out the woods yet. I think it's more serious then originally stated but that doesn't mean she can't have good days. I guess we will see what she looks like tomorrow

Because cancer treatment is moving in the direction of ongoing treatment for a chronic condition. The chemo, or whatever treatment, kills all the cancer cells, your PET scan might be clear, but in a few months they might do some more chemo, have another scan, and continue to monitor the situation for months/years. Because in all likelihood it will eventually come back at some point.

Thanks for posting. I thought it was unusual that KP didn’t issue the photo and that there is nothing to indicate the date.

What does this even mean? It was posted on their official social media.

Oooh. Getty now saying they can’t vouch for the photo…

I agree with all of this. Happy she's better than everybody thought, but she did use her privilege a little.

I don't fault her for that. I'm sure if it was you or one of your loved ones you would have done the same.

It's that line towards the end of the statement that really jumped out at me: 'I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty.’

What could that mean? What is the uncertainty? We were told Kate was receiving 'preventative' chemo, that cancer HAD been present, with the suggestion being it was no longer present. I believe this statement is extremely ambiguous, the references to 'good progress' which sounds quite cautious, and 'bad days' suggests to me that her prognosis may be more grim than we were originally led to believe.

That has been obvious for some time, the divorce advocates notwithstanding.

For those not in the know:

Over the long term, cancers are usually treated with chemotherapy (chemo) in 1 of 2 ways.

1)Chemo is given on a regular schedule to keep the cancer under control. This is also called maintenance chemo. This may help curb spread and prolong survival.
2) As another option, chemo may only be given when the cancer becomes active again. The cancer is watched closely with things like imaging tests and blood tests; chemo is started when things change

Agree. Weird letter writing campaign by bored American housewives?!?!

Weird letter writing campaign by bored American housewives who fantasize about being a British subject.... FIFY

They are the flip side to the people angry that the royals aren't working hard enough when it's not even their "tax dollars" supporting them.

Anyone who has cancer or who has had cancer has to deal with the uncertainty of cancer. It often comes back. Sometimes when you think it's gone it's not. It's basically a lifelong diagnosis.

I wrote a letter and I AM a British subject. Maybe that's why.

Maybe the letter writer will get a signed portrait that she can hang in her room. 😆😆

Such a transactional, American response.
When someone is really, really sick getting letters is a way of staying positive, of getting better.
You can go crawl back under your rock.

DP. I’d be more impressed if you wrote someone with cancer who doesn’t have the best possible medical care and an army of housecleaners and drivers and cooks and nannies.

You have no idea who I write to, volunteer for, what treatments I get myself. You live in a tiny little bubble and your only activity is with a tiny little walnut brain. I wish you well, I hope someone comes along and waters you and you grow into a decent human.

Can't wait to see her standing next to William and the children on the balcony!

You can’t wait….. sounds a little obsessive.

Dr Sanjay Gupta says people often use preventative and adjuvant interchangeably. Adjuvant chemo is to try to get any cancer cells that are left behind after surgery.
So it's not some Stage I cancer most likely. Either it already spread to other organs or was in the lymph nodes
Poor woman.

Sounds like a farewell tour.

The thing is, this person isn't writing letters to impress you but to send well wishes to someone with cancer. It's not about you. Damn, who hurt you?

+1. Clearly a deeply unhappy person.
