Eight months after it was revealed that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer, reports overseas now say he is to put his treatments on hold, following a high-profile 11-day visit to Australia and Samoa. The decision was made after consultation with his doctors, and it seems that they are even happy with the decision

King Charles stops cancer treatments: About eight months after Buckingham Palace made a dramatic announcement that the King had been diagnosed with cancer, now the British “Daily Mail” website reports that he has decided to suspend his chemotherapy treatments for 11 days. The reason for delaying the treatments – a royal visit overseas.
Later this month, the King will fly to Australia and Samoa for a high-profile visit for a period of just over a week and a half. There he will take part in the meeting of heads of government of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Of course, he did not make this decision alone and according to the report, his doctors allowed him to “suspend” the treatment of the disease.

However, until the 75-year-old gets on the plane, he should continue his treatments as usual – and it seems that even his doctors are happy for him to take a short break from this, during which Charles and his wife Camilla will have a busy schedule. Sources emphasize that this was organized in consultation with his doctors, one of whom will accompany him during the visit – but in this case it is a standard procedure.
Last February, as mentioned, an official announcement was made that the king was diagnosed with an unknown cancer – about a week after undergoing a medical procedure to treat the prostate gland, which the palace described as a “remedial procedure”. Not long after, Charles’ nephew shared that he was eager to get back to work in an interview with Sky News.
“He’s in a good mood. Ultimately, he’s very frustrated that he can’t go on and do everything he wants. But he’s very pragmatic, he understands that there’s a period of time where he really needs to focus on himself,” Phillips told host Caroline Di Russo at the time.
Remember, Phillips’ update came shortly after the Princess of Wales announced that she too was suffering from an unknown type of cancer. In a video message released to the public, Kate Middleton said she is currently undergoing “preventative chemotherapy” after cancer was discovered in her body following stomach surgery in January. But happily, last month – the princess announced happy news, according to which she finished with the chemotherapy treatments.
