Former royal butler, Paul Burrell, appeared on ITV morning show Lorraine on Monday, February 27, to give viewers an update of his health and share his cancer journey ahead of his first operation. The friend of the late Princess Diana, revealed his diagnosis live on Lorraine at the end of January, and in the emotional update admitted: "I'm going to be a mess for a very long time".
Viewers watched as the 64-year-old arrived at The Christie hospital in Manchester for his pre-op consultation and told the camera: "It's a little bit scary. I’m apprehensive because I don’t know what to expect and I don’t know what the outcome is going to be. So today I’ll find out the answers to all my questions."
He later explained how he will be going in for a two-hour procedure where they will "inject radium into my prostate". He added: "My recovery will be for the rest of that week. And then for the next three weeks I’ll have to go to radiotherapy appointments to kill it from the outside as well as the inside.
