[TTmonkey]

Just announced.

[valiant]

I’m republican to the core but cancer is a fker and taken far too many members of my family.

I wish him well and hopefully will be fully treatable and he make a speedy recovery.

If it isn't his prostrate what else could it be if picked up on scans?

Get well soon m'lud

Sh*te news for him

We all knew his reign wouldn’t come close to his mother’s, but let’s hope it won’t be cut cruelly short.

[Pitre]

Awful news. Hope he makes a full recovery.

Something in the same area that would be getting scanned perhaps…? Thee would be a list of potentials…

[BrabusMog]

Terrible news

[gotoPzero]

I would have thought they will have caught it very early, given he has personal doctors and they will be doing regular screening etc I would have thought.

Fingers crossed its something treatable.

When diagnosed with prostate cancer, I was given a full body scan. They check for other cancers, particularly in bones I seem to remember. The prostate scans were very specific. I saw a couple of them, and they just covered my bits.

Well I wasn't expecting that.

Cancer is a . My mother is just getting over skin cancer, my step father has prostate cancer and my wifes best mate was given 1-5 years to live today, as her cancer has spread to five more places.

I wish him well, cancer is the great leveller it cares not for who or what you are nor your status

[Cupramax]

BBC news going into full on hysteria, you’d think after a full half hour with no other news he’d already died…

The MRI & bone scan (Charlie would have had both) have probably picked up whatever type of cancer he has been diagnosed with.

Let’s hope whatever type of cancer Charlie’s been diagnosed with it’s been caught early.

For any male over 50 I would suggest being tested for prostrate cancer should be considered.

Not deeply royalist but I wish him well as cancer is grim for any family to face.

[cheesejunkie]

Wish him well.

I’m republican to the core. I’ll take flak for this but I do find some of the reporting around how we shouldn’t worry he’ll still read his red box in direct opposition to the royalists who say he’s just a figure head.

I wish him well. Cancer is a bd. The level of reporting hysteria, full Nicolas Witchell, does make me wonder if they know something I don’t.

[TTmonkey]

Half an hour this news had been out and I’m already sick of the sight of Nick Wytchel or whatever his name is.

[TikTak]

Had 4 cancers in the family in the last 6 years. Its a complete bh.

Wish him a full recovery.

Wish him well ... We'd meet before though ( briefly) , On a country lane Near Tetbury back in the day where i was told to stop by a Police motorcycle ..The Police escort and a V8 Vantage sped past .. I was in BT Maestro van..oh the shame ..
