Z the IVth posted:NGL being rushed off in the middle of the night for emergency abdominal surgery for cancer and taking 3 months to recover sounds like exceptionally bad news. Even more so when you consider how young she is. to be clear, they didn't find out it was cancer until after doing some blood tests. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/mar/22/princess-of-wales-cancer-unspecified-what-we-know-kate-middleton quote:In a personal message issued on Friday evening, Catherine said that when she underwent major abdominal surgery in January, “it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous”. i imagine she hasn't been seen because chemo has made her look like poo poo and she very understandably would like privacy in the meanwhile - i don't think there's much to read into re prognosis here

Runcible Cat posted:Yeah. Unless she got rushed in for something else, conspiracy fans, and the cancer showed up on scans. But bowel cancer, for example, could have caused an intestinal blockage, which would need an ambulance and emergency surgery. But then again they've lied about everything else so far with absolutely pathological levels of dedication so who knows.

Seems like it was an assumed benign tumour led to routine surgery and blood tests revealed malignant.

Tesseraction posted:Cancer, huh. Now I feel bad for all the speculation. To be fair, people speculated about cancer and decided that probably wasn't it, because any serious illness -- and especially cancer -- is so sympathetic, it is a thing that has touched so many people's lives and no one makes light of it, that a non-insane publicity team would've simply been a great deal more honest about the situation, even if they didn't discuss specifics. This, on the other hand, will likely generate more conspiracy theories because handling such a situation this poorly is so bizarre that it doesn't make common sense.

Going to be interesting though to see if the papers decide Kate now takes the title of Princess of our Hearts, moving Diana off the top spot - wouldn't be the first time she's been bumped off by the press.

I mean it could be that she didn't want to be public about it but yeah I still feel like the bizzare royal/press relationship that doesn't allow for "gently caress off please it's personal" as a response has clearly led to an incredibly bizzare handling of the situation.

I would enjoy The Sun eating some poo poo over that footage because that was clearly bullshit, but it's never going to happen. No love for the royals but I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone. Especially not someone around my age who's lived a way healthier lifestyle.

The way she kept saying "major abdominal surgery", I assumed she had a full or partial hysterectomy due to endometriosis. I know someone who had a full hysterectomy and afterwards the doctors found some cancer in the tissue so they put her on some preventative treatment.

Seriously, gently caress cancer. My mum had surgery last week to treat breast cancer, and she’s on the mend now, but it’s been a super stressful time for everyone.

One of the defences of ai is that it will help cure cancer. Maybe it should stop dicking about with silly fingered photos of celebrities then. We get the ai we deserve.

Runcible Cat posted:Not by default, since they're usually benign, but they get checked afterwards and if they found the nasty then... Yup. Mr. Apollo posted:The way she kept saying "major abdominal surgery", I assumed she had a full or partial hysterectomy due to endometriosis. I know someone who had a full hysterectomy and afterwards the doctors found some cancer in the tissue so they put her on some preventative treatment. Yeah this was the other possibility I thought about : severe endometriosis invading the bowel/requiring a major resection. At this point, it's impossible to say what she has. "Preventative chemo" is a meaningless term that doesn't say a whole lot. But it won't stop anyone from trying to read the tea leaves.

Residency Evil posted:Yup. If she went as an emergency overnight - rather than an elective procedure (most cancers are not emergencies) then something ovarian/female anatomy related is the most likely explanation. Bowels don't spontaneously block in healthy adults but you could get something thought to be a cyst (which are very common) torsioning leading to emergency surgery and cancer diagnosis once the pathology comes back on what was cut out. It's all tea leaf reading but the fact that she's having chemo at all suggests it's reasonably advanced. It won't be offered for early/low risk tumours (risk/benefit doesn't justify). You can have it after surgery to reduce the risk of it coming back (which is what I'm interpreting "preventative" as) or you can have it to hopefully buy you more time.

Bowels don't spontaneously block in healthy adults but you could get something thought to be a cyst (which are very common) torsioning leading to emergency surgery and cancer diagnosis once the pathology comes back on what was cut out. It depends on the situation. The fact that she was (reportedly) in the hospital for a long time supports that she had a fairly extensive abdominal surgery, not just a cyst torsion. Chemo doesn't necessarily mean it's advanced. Early stage ovarian cancers still get chemo based on histology/grade, and you can bet that in a borderline situation, you're not going to be the oncologist that recommends less aggressive treatment for an otherwise healthy 42 year old that also happens to be the future queen. If I were to put money on it, I'm guessing it was a fairly extensive ovarian (or possibly some sort of GI) cancer that required a rather large debulking.
