Privacy NoticeKate Middleton has shared a personal update on her cancer battle and confirmed that her preventative chemotherapy has now ended. In a video message posted on Monday, 9 September, the Princess of Wales addressed her recovery and said her focus is staying ‘cancer free’, but will be taking ‘each day as it comes’. The 42 year old, who announced in March that she had been diagnosed with cancer, spoke about her experience in the video and said her family had been ‘blown away’ by supportive messages. While she outlined that the last nine months had been ‘incredibly tough’ she confirmed that her preventative chemotherapy had now finished.

In the deeply personal video message, Kate said: “As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment. “The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown. “The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you. With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything. “This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved. Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus.

I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can. “Despite all that has gone before, I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life. William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. “Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling. To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
