I’m sure you can all join me in welcoming the news that the King’s cancer treatment plan will be reduced in the New Year. On Friday, Charles gave the nation a much needed boost in the run up to Christmas by revealing that his schedule of treatment will decrease in early 2026.
As he urged people to book cancer screening appointments to ensure early detection of the disease, the 77-year-old monarch said: “I know, too, what a difference it has made in my own case, enabling me to continue leading a full and active life, even while undergoing treatment.
“Indeed, today I am able to share with you the good news that thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to ‘doctors’ orders’, my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the New Year.
“This milestone is both a personal blessing and a testimony to the remarkable advances that have been made in cancer care in recent years; testimony that I hope may give encouragement to the 50 percent of us who will be diagnosed with the illness at some point in our lives.”
