Prostate cancer is generally a disease you can manage and live with, like a long-term illness. It's not always fatal. More men live with prostate cancer than die from it. Wishing Charles all the best.

Not really a surprise what with the King's age. Charles does have the advantage that he's in great physical shape for his age, he's careful about his diet and as far as we know, he doesn't have an underlying chronic disease.
He's started treatment today and continuing work as Head of State so we hope for the best.

This is not necessarily good news. As discussed herein, prostate cancer if caught early enough can be well managed. The alternatives aren’t necessarily so. As KarenL Noted in another string, Harry’s “rushing” to the UK could indicate a serious condition., tho it serves no purpose to speculate aloud. Healing mercies are prayed for by me.
