King Charles III shared personal reflections on his cancer battle in a letter posted on the royal family's website. Expressing gratitude to those who support cancer patients, he emphasized the compassion that arises in difficult moments. Hosting a reception for community cancer organizations, he acknowledged that 390,000 new cancer diagnoses occur yearly in the UK, highlighting the importance of care and support during such daunting experiences. The King's reflections underscore his appreciation for the work done by cancer support organizations and the resilience of humanity in the face of illness.
My wife and I are delighted to host you here this evening to celebrate and above all thank those who so selflessly give care, comfort and reassurance to the 390,000 people who, sadly, receive a new cancer diagnosis across the UK each year.
Being among the statistics of those diagnosed with cancer has reinforced my view that the darkest moments of illness can be illuminated by the greatest compassion.
It has certainly given me an even deeper appreciation of the extraordinary work undertaken by the remarkable organizations and individuals gathered here this evening.
My cancer journey has reinforced what I have long observed during these visits - that the darkest moments of illness can be illuminated by the greatest compassion.
