I was sad to hear of the King’s diagnosis, and sincerely hope that treatment will be effective. I’m also pleased that he has allowed it to be public knowledge. Of course it has made news headlines, quite rightly so, but I do agree with some other posters that the media are repeating it over and over to no further avail. The King’s family will be trying to cope with the news, and all that it entails, while, at the same time, trying to remain positive. I feel that the constant repetition, and some conjecture, does not have a calming influence. I think they should leave it now, until there is further news.
