Hello everyone,

How are you doing today?

A few weeks ago, it was announced that King Charles is being treated for cancer.

How do you feel about the news? Do you think they should release more information on the type of cancer he has? Do you have any thoughts?

Take care,

Lizzi from the Carenity team

@LizziB I see it from a different perspective. He's not the only person with cancer, and by sharing it of course gets top VIP treatment from the Government, the public and private medical professionals. Many people are still on a horrific waiting list for diagnosis alone but because of the royalty and his title he is immediately treated. My husband has both skin and prostate cancer and deals with the government hospitals like the normal public. He has waited 4 years alone for radiotherapy treatment which he only started yesterday. Hormonal injections, chemotherapy, waiting for hospital and doctor's appointments, cancellation of appointments and more have had a massive impact on both of us, including all of the side effects that have come with the treatment so far given. I am so grateful to the NHS for all they have done for him so far.

I don't agree with the way it takes over the news, media and more when other people with cancer are just left alone.

I would like to know why is it when anything like this the government and the news people want more done but when it is nobody of concern nothing is done it takes this to get things motivated it's the same with any disease illness or mental health it's the same with Pop stars and footballers etc

I’m sure that King Charles will receive first class care and the very best of treatment currently available. I wish him a speedy recovery and a return to full health.

@Stent1 Hopefully he’s trying to make people aware of this horrible disease and take notice of any symptoms that need investigating .

With the state that the NHS is in I don't really want to see how someone so privileged has access to preferential treatment.

Wouldn't it great if instead of funding helicopter trips to clinics, that we didn't have to rely on volunteer drivers to transport sick patients for chemo appointments etc.
