Princess Kate admits ’huge shock’ after post-surgery tests reveal cancer

The Princess of Wales has announced she is receiving treatment for cancer as she admitted the diagnosis has come as a “huge shock”. She says the abdominal surgery received in January was successful and at the time her condition was believed to be non-cancerous. However, tests carried out after the operation have revealed the presence of cancer. The Princess started a course of preventative chemotherapy in February. A personal statement was released this morning from Princess Kate, thanking everyone for their support.
