Especially when so many people have had it. I think it would be hard to find a family that hasn't had at least one person get cancer (I've had people on both sides of my family have it).
Or it's one of those kinds that someone can live with and have treatment for many years without the goal of curing it, like my grandfather has, and they don't want to get into the weeds of people assuming that such a path is the same as going directly into hospice and being 'unfit to hold the throne' (whatever that job even means anymore).
This makes absolutely no sense. Did you just make this up? Because prostate cancer is most common in really old men. Do you even know what a prostate is?
No, sorry, you've either been lied to in a really weird way that literally none of us have ever experienced, or you just made shit right the fuck up and stuck with it because, to you, I guess, it made some sort of logical sense. There's no stigma around prostate cancer, and, in fact, about 80% of men who reach 80 years old have cancer cells in their prostates.
I always figured it was ass cancer since they outright said it wasn't prostate cancer but it was found during treatment for an enlarged prostate. They don't care about the whole cancer community, they just think it's embarrassing.
Ooooooh. Buckingham Palace is withholding information to be helpful. See, it’s humanitarian evasion and subterfuge about royal health.
Just say nothing. I’m an American and totally uninterested by royals drama. But why add the layer of patronizing BS? Are they taking cues from our media? Wtf.
I doubt it's brain cancer. At some point we would've needed surgery to remove the more visible tumours and chemotherapy is less effective due to the blood brain barrier so radiotherapy might've been recommended.
Frankly judgement on prostate cancer is mostly interneral.
No one I know would judge someone for prostate cancer. If I had it I can't imagine not telling anyone because its in my bum. If I were to talk about it I doubt anyone would judge me and I've never seen someone that wasn't a low life judge someone for it.
To note, both my parents had cancer, my mum had breast cancer and my dad had Thyroid which killed him are 12 amazing years and 3 not so good ones.
I also believe even if you know no one that has cancer, you are welcome to any opinion on this matter as there is a high chance you will have it some day, as a kid when my mum got it cancer was terrifying and scary because people don't talk about it, but it was in remission only a couple years later.
Cancer is not volermort. It's a drunk viloent bastard in a pub that get's worse the more you ignore him and let him drink, and today we've got more bouncers than ever to deal with him.
So, prostate then
Or colorectal cancer. Would love to see stigmas for any illness go away.
Isn’t one of the treatments to insert the doctors arm deep into a patients butthole?
They did say it wasn't prostate, I think because they'd already announced he was being treated for an enlarged prostate.
I don't understand why cancer is treated like a dirty secret so often.
Depends on which body part the cancer is in I suppose. Prostrate cancer is a dirtier secret for some reason than skin cancer
Which is stupid since pretty much every dude will develop it if they live long enough.
Yeah… it’s unfortunate but some body parts are considered impolite to be talked about, and that prudishness seeps into medical talk as well
I think that's true for all cancers. . .
Especially when so many people have had it. I think it would be hard to find a family that hasn't had at least one person get cancer (I've had people on both sides of my family have it).
Oh wow, it must be bad
he’s got whole cancer
🕳 cancer
Hole cancer

Or maybe he'd like to retain a few shreds of privacy and not tell the whole world about his medical issues, like a normal person
Dick cancer?
Possible considering his history.
My thinking as well

Not heard that. It’s largely age related with a genetic component

Literally not true; misinformation spread by hate groups to stigmatize gay people AND manages to stigmatize people with prostate cancer as well.
Absolute dogshit

So it’s a really bad one huh

Sounds like brain or prostate cancer. Keeping it secret so people don't react negatively
I doubt it's brain cancer. At some point we would've needed surgery to remove the more visible tumours and chemotherapy is less effective due to the blood brain barrier so radiotherapy might've been recommended.

The royals love a secret......Diana, Noncey Andrew
They're horrible fuckers, let's be honest
