Ammon News - Britain’s King Charles III offered a rare update on his cancer journey in a video message on Friday evening, revealing that he has responded well to treatment and it will be reduced in the new year.

Charles, 77, described the milestone in his recovery process as “a personal blessing” before hailing “the remarkable advances that have been made in cancer care in recent years.”

“Today I am able to share with you the good news that thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to ‘doctor’s orders,’ my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the new year,” the British monarch said in a pre-filmed clip for Channel 4’s Stand Up To Cancer broadcast, which partners on its annual campaign with the charity Cancer Research UK.

Charles announced he had been diagnosed with cancer in February 2024 after undergoing a prostate procedure.

Friday’s message is the latest example of how the British sovereign has made cancer awareness a fundamental part of his public facing work.

His first official engagement following his diagnosis was in April last year when he visited University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre in London, where he met patients and clinicians.

The King’s outing came as he was announced as the new patron of Cancer Research UK. He has also been patron of Macmillan Cancer Support for almost three decades.
