King Charles III and Catherine, Princess of Wales, who are both being treated for cancer, spent some time together before the former Kate Middleton made the video announcement about her health last week, a source said. The king and the princess had lunch on March 22 before Kate shared in a video on social media that she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy for an unspecified form of cancer, a source at Kensington Palace told NBC News.
In her address on Friday, Kate said her surgery had been successful, but doctors had recommended 'a course of preventative chemotherapy and I’m now in the early stages of that treatment.” Preventative chemotherapy generally refers to a treatment conducted after initial interventions that aims to prevent cancer from returning, Dr. Ben Ho Park, director of precision oncology at Vanderbilt School of Medicine, told TODAY.com March 22.
