Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, had a tough wait to find out she needed cancer treatment while recovering from her abdominal surgery in January.
The Princess shared on Friday, 22 March, that she had been receiving treatment after cancer was found in follow up tests. The news shocked millions who had been wondering about her health and location for weeks after she was admitted to the London Clinic on January 16 for what Kensington Palace called "planned abdominal surgery".
There's no doubt that the past two months have been difficult for 42 year old Kate as she is unlikely to return to public duties until Easter, based on medical advice.
In the royal's announcement on Friday evening, Kate said she was first told her condition was "non-cancerous", but despite feeling a huge relief at first, tests after the operation showed that cancer was there. She then had to wait over a month while recovering from the first surgery before starting "preventative chemotherapy".
The public don't know the exact details of her surgery or the type of cancer, reports the Mirror.
Kensington Palace is keeping date details of Kate's cancer diagnosis under wraps, revealing only that it was "once post-operative tests had been completed and the results reviewed".
The nature of her cancer will also be kept private. The Princess' medical team has also not specified where she is being treated for her condition.
It appears they've made this decision based on a few key points: the right specialist for her case, potential effect on other patients or health care resources. In her statement, Kate said: "In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous.
The surgery was successful.
