About Kate’s abdominal surgery
The recent announcement comes amid weeks of worldwide speculation and intrigue surrounding the Princess of Wales’ health. In January, the Duchess underwent an abdominal surgery in London that was previously believed to be non-malignant. However, after the surgery, some other tests showed the presence of cancer. Kate further revealed that she is taking some time to recover from her surgery before getting into the other medications.
"In January, I had a significant abdominal surgery in London, initially believed to be non-cancerous. The surgery was successful, but post-operative tests revealed the presence of cancer. Consequently, my medical team recommended a preventive chemotherapy treatment, which I've now begun," Kate shared in the video.
