Why do they announce that he’s got it, but not what it is?

I do hope he can hang on for a bit as a I’d prefer the bank holidays for the funeral and subsequent coronation to be in the summer. Not that it matters as I’m not working either way.

    Proper smoke and mirrors isn’t it

    Had to wait all this time be king and then could be checking out early.

    He’ll be absolutely gutted.

      I’m sure life before being king was absolutely awful for him.

          Chill. I reckon very early stage bladder cancer. No drama. He’ll stick around for a bit yet

            Along_the_Wire Why do they announce that he’s got it, but not what it is?

            The BBC article said:

            “The type of cancer has not been revealed - it is not prostate cancer, but was discovered during his recent treatment for an enlarged prostate”

            so if that’s how it was discovered then maybe it’s just ass cancer? It’s probably not been announced because ‘The King Has Ass Cancer’ is not a headline they’d want published.

              hugopal it would be quite unusual even on the NHS for them not to check the bowel and other surrounding areas when they do the MRI for the prostate, which he would’ve had some time ago.

                Hugo should go in for a BANTSer check up.

                Ffs why is there a LIVE feed on the BBC website? Are they hoping to catch a glimpse of the cancer moving or something. Leave the poor sod alone

                Fuck the whole lot of them, Vive La Revolution!!

                benson Thought the same given was picked up during a TURP. Few cycles mitomycin will clear it hopefully.

                  Amps I don’t disagree with that at all, especially if he has prostate issues - that wouldn’t be sudden and I’d be shocked if he hasn’t for years given the prevalence of Gleason 6 over the age of 50

                  Wasily it’ll be all those years he spent working in an ink factory.

                  And if it is early bladder, a lot of fuss being made.

                    benson yeah not good, speedy recovery wished all round

                    The fake pics make more sense now

                    To be fair, they did fuel them with the fake pics

                    Thought her statement was spot on. Probably AI though. Or aliens.

                    Homegrove The conspiracy theories were entertaining though.

                    Probably quite a few of them would have been along the lines of her having cancer, and as such valid.
