The Princess of Wales today gave her most personal insight yet into the emotional impact of her cancer battle, telling hospital patients: “You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment... but actually the phase afterwards is really difficult.”
During a visit to the cancer wellbeing centre at Colchester Hospital, Kate spoke movingly about the pressures of recovery, saying: “There is a whole phase when you finish your treatment, everybody expects you to be better – go! But that's not the case at all.”
