Princess of Wales: My chemotherapy is over, now I’m focused on staying cancer-free

The Princess of Wales has finished her chemotherapy and is now focused on staying cancer free, she has said. In an emotional message, accompanied by footage of the princess and her young family, she said her illness had given her a “new perspective on everything” and a renewed focus on the “simple yet important things in life”. Acknowledging publicly that the “cancer journey” had been “complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone”, she said it brings patients " face-to-face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before”.

The princess will begin her gradual return to a light programme of public engagements after completing her course of chemotherapy. But she emphasised: “Doing what I can to stay cancer-free is now my focus.”.
