Princess Kate making “good progress” but “not out of the woods” after cancer diagnosis | BBC News

The Princess of Wales says she is making “good progress” after her cancer diagnosis and is to attend the formal Trooping the Colour ceremony in London.
It will be her first public appearance this year following the diagnosis, and her abdominal surgery in January.
In a personal message, Catherine said her treatment was still ongoing and will continue for another few months. She said “I am not out of the woods yet.
It’s the most significant update on Catherine's health since revealing in March she had cancer, in a statement written in her own words.
It is accompanied by a new photograph of the princess, taken by photographer Matt Porteous, which shows her near her home in Windsor.
But there is caution with the positive message.
“As anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days,” she says. "On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well”.
The princess says "I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal."

I am optimistic that Trooping the Colour will be ok for her. It's a lovely event to be her first "official" appearance since the unfortunate news, and I think being surrounded by family on such a happy occasion will be a boost to her mental health.

​@louise7552 I doubt it very much. It's the folks who are having treatment delayed and many who cannot afford private treatment I feel for. No waiting lists for the Windsors. I'd call that inequality. But the sheeple seem ok with it. The sheeple are sleeping walking into indoctrination.

[@Secamax590]

After following the Royals going through so much, I came to admire this family. For a person going through this cancer journey, Kate and King Charles are letting them know, "You can do this". The fact that Kate took time to write the letter ahead of her appearance, she is telling others, I'm not a super hero, I too go through hard time so be kind to yourself and rest and self-care when needed. She is a very considerate woman 😊

[@HR-vh1rh]

BUT DON T FORGET After chemo, the body's defences are low, so it is advisable not to meet many people where she could become infected. That's why she needs time to come back, the body first has to become resistant again. Kate we love you
