The Princess of Wales has recently shared a heartfelt message revealing that she is undergoing 'preventative chemotherapy' following a previous surgery. In her video statement, she disclosed that despite initial beliefs that her condition was non-cancerous, post-operative tests revealed the presence of cancer cells. As a result, her medical team recommended a course of preventative chemotherapy to ensure any remaining cells are targeted and eliminated.
Chemotherapy is a common cancer treatment that involves the use of medication to destroy cancer cells, preventing their growth and spread throughout the body. In the case of 'preventative chemotherapy', it is administered after the surgical removal of cancerous tissue to reduce the risk of any potential residual cells causing a recurrence.
