In September, we learned that Kate Middleton had completed chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer earlier in the year.
And last week, Kate paid an emotional visit to the hospital where she received her treatment.
He met with doctors and patients, including a woman named Katherine Fields, who was undergoing chemo and wearing a device called a cold cap at the time.
A tale of two cats
Field has recently been opened People Journal about the surprise visit of the Princess of Wales.
And it feels like talking to Kate was just like talking to any other survivor.
“It was just like talking to a friend about a really horrible time in your life and how you deal with it. ‘Looking for a new normal’ It’s absolutely true what Field said.
He said Kate talked to him about the Cold Cap, a device designed to help reduce hair loss in chemo patients.
“I hate it, but I think it’s working. There’s a little bit of hair coming out today, but I’m just trying to delay it,” Fields recalled telling the princess.
Field revealed that Kate herself did not use the hat, as she was apparently not concerned about the possibility of hair loss.
“He just said he didn’t need it,” Field explained. “Losing her hair, which is so coveted, would have been terrible. Everyone loves her hair!”
break his silence
Over the past year, Kate has kept mostly quiet about the details of her illness and treatment.
In fact, we still don’t know what kind of cancer she was battling. So his candid comments on the field are somewhat surprising.
But this wasn’t the first time that Kate had opened up about her treatment journey.
And now that she and Prince William are royal patrons of the hospital where she was treated, we’re guessing Kate will talk about her experiences more often.
“As you know life can change in an instant and we have to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and the unknown road. “The cancer journey is complicated, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you,” Kate said after completing chemo.
“With humility, it brings you face to face with your weaknesses in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.”
Obviously, like everyone else, Kate would probably have preferred not to get sick in the first place.
But now that she has come to the other side, the first-hand experience she has gained enables her to provide comfort and genuine understanding to those who are in the fight for their lives.
And clearly, Kate intends to use that ability to help in the fight against this terrible disease.
