LONDON, Sept 9 (Askume) – Britain’s Kate, Princess of Wales, said on Monday she had completed a course of preventive chemotherapy for cancer and would make some public appearances later this year, but added that her road to full recovery would take some time.
Following is the text of his video message:
“As the summer starts to end, I can’t tell you how much of a relief it is to finally be free from chemo.
“The last nine months have been extremely difficult for our family. As you know, life can change in an instant, and we have had to find a way to navigate the storms and unknowns.
“The cancer journey is complicated, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.
“Along with humility, it also allows you to face your vulnerabilities in a way you may not have considered before, giving you a new perspective on everything.
“This time starts with reminding William and I to appreciate and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life that many of us often take for granted. Just love and be loved.
“Right now my focus is on doing everything I can to remain cancer-free. Although I have completed chemotherapy, the road to recovery and full recovery is still long and I have to continue taking it every day.
“However, I look forward to returning to work and as many public activities as possible in the coming months.
“Despite everything I’ve been through, I’m entering this new phase of recovery with renewed hope and gratitude for life.
“William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and draw huge strength from everyone helping us at this time. The kindness, empathy and compassion from everyone has been truly humbling.
“To all of you who are continuing your cancer journey, I stand with you shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand. There is always light in the darkness, so let the light shine.”
