They are coming out with a statement because someone tried to access her medical records about the surgery.

No as the future Queen she does not have a right to privacy

@@phazeellis2902bs she is not the queen yet and all that would matter is if this was about William !

​@phazeellis2902 She has a right to privacy and medical privacy. Just like everyone does.

Please just let her be!. For heavens sake there are young children to be considered.you don't need any more information. It is between the Princess and her medical team and those who she CHOOSES TO SHARE IT WITH. BASTA!

Royals have to disclose their condition. They use the peoples money for their function.

And here, in the US, a certain military general got roasted for trying to keep his private and yet it was the Republicans who did the roasting. Go figure.

The ways and places I could take this, but I’ll just have a bunch of people with no life defending something and something they truly know nothing about, just like me;);)

I agree

This is ridiculous. The best thing she’s done so far is come out about it. We don’t have to know the details of her cancer. But just saying that she had it gives her the support she deserves from the public. She is the public face of their monarchy. There’s only so much privacy she can demand. She can keep the laparoscopy to herself but the basic diagnosis was the right thing to reveal.

Because her life isn't private. SHe lives off of the people. If she wants a private life she should get a job.

Well don’t treat the public like fools, there wouldn’t be any speculation…… from dodgy pics, to ‘robotic’ footage!!!!

She owes the country full disclosure or she should pass in the pay

​@@judyannkiwiJudy I'm sorry for whatever happened to you or anyone did to you to make you so bitter in life that you would begrudge this poor woman her HIPPA rights or whatever they call it in UK. Btw the UK taxpayer pays less than $2 yearly in tax that goes towards the working Royals' travel costs to their appearances. The rest is on their dime. Please educate yourself before judging. The Queen herself always said the palaces belonged to the UK and its people's, she was just a custodian. Sure wish we had a wealthy family here in US whose members make hundreds of appearances on behalf of charities, commerce, arts, social programs, etc., for FREE! Do you see why certain folks want to abolish the monarchy? So they can get in on that charity cash grab. Prince haz just visited Nigeria to pick up a $1M check... for what exactly?

Ok, you run around with your fingers in your ears whilst the rest of us look for answers to why the Princess of Wales seemed to be M.I.A. You may not like it but a royal family owes its nation answers.

@@thissunchild Pray tell, what do you not understand about someone going through chemo, which renders them unable to expose themselves to the public due to compromised immune system, let alone not wanting to be seen due to possible hair and weight loss? Please think. Not everything has to be about conspiracy or your personal need to know smh.

@@ME-gz8yi What, like King Charles, you mean? Remember what Q.E. ll said during her reign? *_"I have to be seen to be believed"_*

So then she needs to support herself and stop asking everyone whose business it isn't to support her. She's not entitled to anything. But to get a job and support herself.

Get yourself a life and worry about that. Start by switching off CNN Fake News propaganda channel.

Wow. At this point, I believe people like you care less than the rest of us trying to figure this out. If you think they've told you the truth about her condition, or her wellbeing, you live in a fantasy world. Good luck with that. The video of her addressing her cancer was 100% AI.

We don’t want her private medical info. We want proof of life. Big difference.

@@kookyjoeb5524 Amen!!! 👏🏼

Perhaps we could check into the family background of reporters and nosey Drs to see if we can find some juicy medical history to share with the public who spend there whole lives minding every one else's business than their own. No excuse for bottom feeding behaviour! NON WHAT SO EVER!!!!!!!

He fails to respond to what the Princess said that the surgery was a great success, and post op testing revealed that cancer "HAD BEEN PRESENT", which to me suggests it is no longer present because the surgery was, as she said, " a great success"...thank God

Nothing needs to be answered at all. Leave her alone. Do you go telling other people about your patients illnesses? Your comment is disgusting

Kate is a PUBLIC FIGURE! For people to be curious is NOT out of line. She is very loved and people are worried about her. The public wants to know she will be ok. Frankly if someone is in her status it is natural to be curious. Dr. Gupta is just rying to allay people's qorries without alot of mis-informaion ģetting out there. You give up your expection of privacy when you are a public figure. Sad but that is just the way it is. Thank you Dr. Gupta for your professional opinion to 'quash' rumors that are expected.

Dr Guppie is on a need to know bases and he don't need to know. What is it with 'Mericans and their busy body iintrusiveness?

Yes. This. We don’t administer chemo without cancer being diagnosed and present. There is no such thing as preventive chemo. Chemo is usually a second or third line treatment along side surgery, radiation and immunotherapy. Preventive indicates a habit to prevent ever getting it. IE: using sunscreen daily to prevent skin cancer.

Radiation would be more common for preventing.

And Catherine said they found cancerous cells. What is hard to understand about that. Catherine is having chemo to stop it coming back. It is a medical protocol used in a number of different countries so what Catherine said is correct.

What it means is that they surgically removed a mass, cells, etc and upon biopsing whatever was removed, the results came back as having been cancerous. Although it was surgically removed, a round of chemo is given to the patient to make sure there isn't further growth of the same cancerous cells that were already surgically removed; that's why it is called preventive or adjuvent chemo. I hope that helps clarify what it means. Any doctor or person may confirm this information with an oncologist or cancer treatment center who are really the ones who are well versed on this topic. I am shocked that this Dr.Gupta is saying whatever he is saying & that the media continues to dissect this woman's private medical situation. I am shocked that many doctors are even publicly putting their 2 cents on this. In medicine is pretty much the same as any other field, a mechanical engineer is going to know little about what a chemical engineer knows. A cardiologist is going to know very little about what an urologist knows & vice versa. Once doctors go into their individual specialties, they are as clueless about those other fields as the rest of us. I have been in the medical field for 25 years now, so I feel very disappointed because all these medical experts should know better than to be discussing this woman's case. She needs to be given her privacy really.

​@@peonypink9149100% correct.

Preventive chemo is a treatment, known formally as adjuvant chemotherapy, is a course of anti-cancer drugs that is given to mop up any cancer cells that might remain in the body after primary cancer treatment, which is usually surgical removal of a tumour. In a nutshell this is what most likely occurred to Kate: She had surgery to remove a tumor that was not thought to be cancerous. The tumor was biopsied & turned out to be cancerous after all. Although it had been completely surgically removed, the medical protocol is to give the patient a round of chemo to decrease the risk of any cancer cells growing again or kill any lingering ones which are so small that are impossible to be detected by scans or anything else. So that's what it means that she is receiving preventive chemo. As a physician, Dr.Gupta should know that, but if he is not an oncologist then he might not be aware of terminology used to explain things to patients in a way that makes sense to them.

@@jessicajimenez986I don’t give him the benefit of the doubt like you. My dad had colon cancer that hadn’t spread outside of his colon. After surgery he had chemo and radiation just in case they missed any cancer cells. Dr. Gupta knows exactly what she meant.

People are so touch feels about her.

@@peonypink9149 thankyou xxx

@@peonypink9149 No one kills cells that are not cancerous. That's why we DON't do it in the U.S. If you are giving someone that much toxicity it would make sense that its being used for cancerous cells.

Exactly! What I got out of it was that the surgery was successful but afterwards they detected cancerous cells. Chemotherapy has been recommended to prevent the spread and eliminate the cancer at its point of origin.

Catherine was clear in her explanation. She gave a short video statement and explained what the chemo was for so it would be easily understood. That was all people needed. It wasn’t a medical lecture and Catherine didn’t need to reveal that under UK law regarding medical privacy.

Greetings, how are you doing today and how is the weather conditions over there

No, the surgery was not for the cancer. They found out she has cancer at the follow up. Nobody undergoes chemo or radiation if the doctors "got it all".

The surgery was not for the cancer. They found out she has cancer after the operation. Nobody undergoes chemo and radiation if the doctors "got it all".

Thank you for explaining this so much better. I hope your Mom is recovered. God bless you ❤

I heard the surgery was not for cancer. The cancer was discovered during the surgery.

No. First, its impossible to know if they got everything or not. Secondly, whether or not they give chemo depends on the staging of the cancer. It's extremely hard on the body and isn't just handed out to everyone who gets cancer.

I wonder if anyone ever cares whether their children will be healthy. They took a while to object to child transing.

​@@jag1963 you've interpreted the word poor in the wrong context

We need full information.

@user-xk4jv3fi1z She is from a royal family, and that means no privacy. Even when she skips lunch, we must know. Just kidding!

@@benardmakori6924actually you don’t need any information. Catherine has graciously shared some information because she is a public figure and she also has the same legal protection under UK law regarding medical privacy. You don’t need to know anything more than Catherine’s clear explanation of her diagnosis, treatment and that she is having time off while she comforts her young children. If you’re after conspiracy theories try Roswell and Area 51 to keep yourself busy.

😮

If the expert had any ethics he wouldn’t participate at all. He knows he doesn’t have the medical information to answer the questions he knows will be asked so he speculates instead. In countries other than the US having chemotherapy to stop I cancer returning is a medical protocol. How Catherine explained her treatment is correct. She explained it in plain language in a short video message as it wasn’t a medical lecture. The question is- would this doctor speculate and discuss a patient of his this way? Catherine is legally entitled to medical privacy the same as everyone else in the UK under UK law.

Thank you for explaining this term much better

This is not preventive. It’s still treatment to stop any free floating cancer cells from metastasizing. Those are still cancer cells that exist and need to be treated. It’s not preventive.

I would think it would be radiation if they got all the cancer out in the surgery and wanted to prevent it from coming back. Doesn't really make sense she's having chemo.

That is exactly right and it is a medical protocol in many countries. It’s ridiculous people are getting hysterical over Catherine explaining what her chemo is for. She was very clear, it’s a legitimate medical protocol and that’s it.

That's not preventative thats termed adjuvant.

It is unethical for him to speculate without the medical information or consent and dismiss a medical protocol used in the UK and other countries. Would he speculate publicly about a patient without the medical information to answer the questions he can predict he’ll be asked and without the knowledge of the UK medical system? He shouldn’t have done it at all. His patients should be nervous.

Wow, are you the Dr's sibbling, partner or their child? If you love Gupta so much why don't you ask him to invade your medical history and disregard your right to medical privacy instead of the Princess's?

Get real! These people have a lot of power over my life! They sacked the prime minister I voted for in 1975. Some of my taxes go to them EVERY YEAR! And you say we don’t have a right to know!!!! How dare you!

@@dimitrabouzalas3090 I dare because her health is her private business. You're a twit if you think your £1 a month has bought you the right to know anything about their health. Rights. Rights. Rights. Bleating about those probably took you far in life.

Dr , I suggest you do not speculate about something you are missing full information on & suggest grow some scruples & respect for patients that are not even yours! I can say if I others ever had Cancer they would be wise to pick a different doctor than you as you have proven that you have the morals & ethics of a Scally wag. SHUT UP & RESPECT THIS PATIENT’S RIGHT TO PRIVACY. YOUR NOT AUTHORIZED TO SPEAK FOR HER .

​@@dimitrabouzalas3090the taxes do? Dang; what percentage? Does it say like Royal tax or sone bs

She's a public figure and you give up your right to privacy quite a bit. The real problem is the more one keeps any condition like this private just like Secretary of the defense Austin it does not help in your healing process. And in her case that is the abdomen it is the power center of your whole being it is the center of Choice versus no choice and there's a lot of anger that goes with that when you feel no choice which could be covered up by a lot of fear. She really needs to get an open mind and I understand William has a bad temper and he's got so much baggage from his mother Emmett three-ring Circus the boys were brought up with their father who was so untoward in his behavior plus I read recently Princess Diana had so much stress in her own family paid her brother went off to a prep school and was like many of the boys sadistically abused, bloody buttocks and nobody stopped it and Diana tried to take care of her brother when he was home to a certain extent and of course always worried about him. So of course she was very young and a virgin and that's what the Prince Charles wanted even though he was a running around selling his Wild Oats and having this ongoing relationship with Camille I mean it's all very sick really and so guess what it's going to make her sick it goes on to the DNA and whatever happened between William and Harry and all that mess. Let's hope she finds someone who will listen to her grief and guilt because she has many grief lost issues just in this lifetime. And all that history with the monarchy, time for the monarchy to go. It is all l u d i c r o u s outdated old Paradigm stuff!

So then she needs to support herself and stop asking everyone whose business it isn't to support her.

I totally agree with you 💯

So do I!!!

She is in the public eye. The public loves her. They deserve some insight.

Thank you for explaining this so much better

I had a chemo wash after cervical cancer as a preventative measure. 2001 in the UK. Again not saying that is what she has and it was a long time ago ...things change! However preventative chemo exists.

It is NOT a medical term.

I'm from the UK and I have heard several people say that they have had 'preventative chemotherapy'. It might not be a technical medical term in some countries or some circles but it appears that in the UK it means that you have treatment to reduce the risk of it coming back once its been removed from somewhere in your body.

@@MissAndDav thank you for explaining this so well. Here in America we have 💩 healthcare and it’s prohibited from your truth. Medicare for all is our dream

He's American. He doesn't get it. He thinks the only words used are the ones he knows. Yes adjunctive is also used, but not ONLY used

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I've certainly heard and understand what preventative chemo means. The WHO uses the term and various well-respected scholarly journals have published medical articles that talk about preventative chemo. The speculation of Dr. Gupta is ridiculous here, and on top of that calling out something like her use of the term "preventative chemotherapy" to increase speculation is so disrespectful. Thanks for speaking up about this!

@@jonap5740true. Catherine’s message was given in plain language in a short video message- it wasn’t a medical lecture and she explained the chemo’s purpose. This whole speculation is ridiculous.

I also have had chemo and have heard the term preventative chemo. I am also an American, so just because this Doctor doesn't know about it does not mean it does not exist. And you do get tired and just don't want to have a lot of company or go out. I have been this way since the epidemic started and am just now starting to get my strength back. Not everyone is affected the same way.

It's not preventative it's adjuvant. Because you can't be sure you got all of the cancer with a procedure. You guys don't understand medical terminology. Dr. Gupta is right; the term is adjuvant chemotherapy. Chemo is not given in the complete absence of a cancer diagnosis. Adjuvant chemotherapy is done after surgery to remove a tumor to "mop up" any remaining cancer cells. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is chemo used before surgery in cases where it can shrink a tumor so less aggressive surgery is needed.

Focus on reality by switching off CNN Fake News.

1st of all, what does the House of Windsor do for the great People of Britania? Long Live the Princess (from America).

People would have left her alone if they had simply stayed quite when they said we wouldn’t hear from her until Easter. But out fake pictures is going to make people talk. I feel for Kate, I had the best experience you can hope for with chemo and it still kicked my ass. But she is a public figure living off of her subjects. This is the unfortunate trade off here

TRUE people acting like a bunch of rich folks are the most interesting bunch on the planet

LEAVE HER ALONE. UGH

Sadly, in this chaotic world, and the often disgusting thing we call social media, everything seems to make it everyone's business. All of us watching and using it are guilty in some fashion. However, it's the news outlets, t@bloids, people who have nothing better to do with their lives and their incessant prying are the ones that ruin it.

Exactly. Chemotherapy uses very strong medication with highly toxic side affects and would only be used to kill off cancer cells and further prevent the reoccurrence of same. 🙏🙏🙏💕

Agreed.

I concur. Let her be. No more questions. Just because she's royalty, doesn't mean the public needs to know everything. No more questions. She doesn't have to answer anymore questions.

Exactly so, in trying to answer the question asked..his wise reply was without more detail / information, it was unanswerable or even to speculate. He elucidated on the report given. He didn't suggest to know further than the information already made public. He was being helpful, respectable, kind and compassionate. The intimation to ask questions wasn't literal just explaining why his answer was lacking sunbstance with minimal detail. A good Doctor as also hejpful to others who are also going through the same experiences.

well its not cancer obviously because if it WAS cancer the term 'preventative' would not be used. making a comment correcting peoples warped interpretation of language is not a request for more information.

@@marionrichards4051he showed a lack of ethics engaging in this at all. It was pointless. He knew he didn’t have enough information and he was able to predict what he would be asked. Would he have speculated like this on one of his own patients? He said her medical team haven’t provided any information - of course they haven’t. They aren’t allowed too under UK law. Catherine was clear about the amount of information she released and the timeline. There is no point in a doctor speculating at all. It doesn’t help other people with cancer and it is simply leading to further speculation. Catherine is protected under UK law and entitled to the same level of medical privacy as everyone else in the UK. That doctor needs to stop.

Linda, this is a medical correspondent who is being interviewed. He, and others, will have speculated about quite a few public figures - it's the nature of his job. Did you care when others were under scrutiny or is it just because it's Kate Windsor and you believe she should be given special treatment?

Greetings, how are you doing today and how is the weather conditions over there

The way Catherine explained her chemo is correct and a standard UK protocol as it is in other countries.

I think that we can safely assume that something IS seriously wrong, and just back up. And I am not speculating: if she was ok, there wouldn't be this kind of "secrecy". She's probably in danger, that's the only logical explanation. Is it possible that they can not tell what the outcome will be yet and honestly, given the situation, it doesn't make any sense to inform the public more than that.

@@barbarad3869Catherine has been very clear. She had unrelated surgery. Her results came back several weeks later which is standard in the UK, Canada and Australia and there were cancer cells. So she is having chemo teas a precaution and to prevent cancer returning. She is taking time off for her treatment and to be with her young children. What is so hard to understand about this? There is nothing more to know unless Catherine wants to share details- she is entitled under UK law to medical privacy.

It is a medical protocol in many countries. Catherine explained what her chemo was for clearly and in plain language as it was a short, video statement not a medical lecture. If this doctor had any ethics he wouldn’t have participated at all knowing he doesn’t have any information and being able to predict the questions he was going to be asked. Would he speculate publicly like this about a patient of his?

Yes, it is a medical protocol in many countries. Just maybe not in the US where Catherine’s explanation seems to be getting everybody heightened.

@@peonypink9149 It's not getting anyone in the U.S. heightened because she just explained what Americans are saying. Dr. Gupta is right; the term is adjuvant chemotherapy. Chemo is not given in the complete absence of a cancer diagnosis. Adjuvant chemotherapy is done after surgery to remove a tumor to "mop up" any remaining cancer cells. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is chemo used before surgery in cases where it can shrink a tumor so less aggressive surgery is needed. So there could still be cancer cells in her body which is WHY she is getting chemo. There is no absence of cancerous cells with chemo. That would be gross negligence. Your terminology is off.

Dr. Gupta is correct. That’s not preventive. It’s actually treating cancer after it’s diagnosed. The term preventive indicates preventing cancer before it starts. You are stating it already is there and chemo is used to treat free floating cancer cells. That’s not preventive. It’s the second line TREATMENT.

@@Mb2IseeUin other countries beside the US the medical protocols are different and chemo explained and given as preventative is correct. People getting hysterical over the way Catherine explained her diagnosis is ridiculous. She explained there were cancer cells and she is having chemo to prevent the cancer from coming back in a short video message that was not a medical lecture.

Yes it is hall of veils…

There’s no such thing as “pathologist finds nothing” and the person is still getting chemo. That’s misinformation. Do you think people with benign tumors are given chemo? The answer is NO!

And Catherine acknowledged others in her statement. She was far more gracious than you. You don’t like the idea of the RF than no one is forcing you to stay so don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out….
