"It has been an incredibly challenging couple of months for our entire family," Kate shared in the heartfelt video. She acknowledged the excellent care provided by her medical team during her major abdominal surgery in London, which was initially believed to be unrelated to cancer. However, post-operative tests revealed the presence of cancer, leading her medical team to recommend a course of preventive chemotherapy, which she has now begun in the early stages.
The news of the cancer diagnosis came as a shock to Kate and Prince William, and they have been actively working to process and manage the situation privately for the sake of their young family. Kate emphasized the importance of taking the time to explain everything to their children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, in an age-appropriate manner, while reassuring them of her well-being.
Recovering from major surgery has required time and patience, allowing Kate to focus on healing her mind, body, and spirit. She expressed gratitude for the support and kindness shown by numerous well-wishers around the world, emphasizing the comfort and reassurance she finds in having William by her side.
Recognizing the need for privacy and space during her treatment, Kate explained that her family requires time to complete her recovery. While she looks forward to returning to her work, which brings her immense joy, she currently prioritizes her health. Kate closed her letter by expressing her condolences to everyone impacted by cancer, telling them not to give up or lose hope and that they are not alone.
The heartfelt message from Kate Middleton has resonated with people worldwide, who continue to offer their support and well wishes during her journey towards recovery.
