Thank you merlotgran.

King Charles’ speech had me welling up. It’s an emotional rollercoaster living with cancer in the family - as many on here can attest.

Missed this, but so happy for the King and his family.

Never give up hope.

NHS at its best is the best 👏👏👏

Never give up hope, FGT 🙏🤞

And perhaps inspire many cancer sufferers that sometimes there can be hope. 🤞

I’m watching the following television programme.

You can’t put a price on the NHS

In a televised message to the nation, the monarch said he had reached a “milestone” in his treatment, calling it a “personal blessing” and giving thanks for early diagnosis and medical advances.

He said: “Today I am able to share with you the good news that thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to doctors’ orders, my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the new year.”

After 22 months of pretty much weekly treatment his doctors have given him this good news.

I expect this will be his most treasured Christmas present and I wish him well with continued Good Health. It must be a huge relief for him and his family.
