What an unpleasant person you are! You are entitled to your opinion but why not keep your nasty thoughts to yourself. Would you prefer someone like Trump as our head of state?

I just the same , good news

No one here is “ saying anything nice” . They are kissing his a+++. Nauseating

No-one is forcing you to read it. There are other threads to read - or you could use the "log out" button.

I think King Charles deserves full credit for the Princes Trust work and for stepping up to do the job that he has trained for all his life and which I think he is doing very well.
Massive credit to him for " keeping calm and carrying on" regardless of his cancer diagnosis.
(Not everyone is able to do this obviously depending upon their particular circumstances).
I wish him the best of luck and hopefully a return to better health.

I hope he recovers. Cancer is awful and the treatment has to be endured. But he is fortunate not having to rely on the NHS like the rest of us.

My heart goes out to you Les1950.

We sort of expect them to go on and on forever too.
Healthwise, and with no proper retirement.

10 hours for an ambulance in an emergency - shocking, but yes, quite believable.

Charles is lucky in many ways but, then, everything is in the glare of publicity and we probably expect too much of someone of his age with his health conditions.

Les1950 Sun 30-Mar-25 12:43:53

Charles is lucky thst he has the best private care. Not having to wait fir an ambulance for 10 hrs like we did for my husband once. Also lots of staff to give Camilla a break.

Les1950, this must be so very tough for you, and of course, your son. I can only send the same to you flowers

merlotgran Sun 30-Mar-25 12:23:57

My thoughts are with you, Les1950. You are going through the hardest of times.
Hang on to your strength and courage.

Les1950 Sun 30-Mar-25 12:07:46

Thank- u Friedtomatoes. He is lot of pain today, and can't sleep for more than 2 hrs at a time. I feel so useless, can only fill is water glass for him. He had good day yesterday, and ate a bit. He has had enough.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Sun 30-Mar-25 11:46:00

Oh Les1950 these 💐 are for you.

Les1950 Sun 30-Mar-25 11:18:12

My husband had prostate cancer fir 2 1/2 years. On tablets, then chemo. Stopped 6 months b4 his death. My son has colon cancer stage 4. He has been on different chemos. One gave him pains like electric shocks. Cancer ate into bones, and his femur cracked, so had hip op 6 weeks ago. Can't have chemo because of that, so tumours growing again. No quality of life. Charles may have prostate, because he still seems to be able to do duties

Redgran really?

Anniebach Sun 30-Mar-25 10:52:24

Some see palaces and country homes, never question the restrictions on those living in them.

Nuttynanna2 Sun 30-Mar-25 10:48:40

I am far from a fan of the royal family. They are so divorced from the realities of life for most people who struggle from day to day, even though they pay lip service to understanding.He will be getting the very best of every treatment available and not having to concern himself with how to make ends meet and pay his bills, the same for all the royals who can just concentrate on recovery. Having said that, as a human being, I wish him the very best and trust he will soon feel much better.

Who cares? Parasite.

Nasty stupid remark, the man has cancer, he is ill, and chemo is brutal so I have been told.
People who do not like the Monarchy are wishing the King well, its what decent people do.

Anniebach Sat 29-Mar-25 23:42:25

So many times he has been mocked , so cruel.

MayBee70 Sat 29-Mar-25 23:32:35

I do hope he’s ok. I admire him for his stance on the environment; something that he was mocked for at one time. But he was way ahead of many people. And I also admire how he’s working with the government at a time when international relations have to be dealt with very carefully.

There is someone nauseating on this thread and it's not Charles.

Are you ‘paddyann’ in disguise?

Grammaretto Sat 29-Mar-25 21:23:07

I am a fan of Charles. We're the same age.
rather different lives
His cancer reminds me very much of my DH who had kidney cancer and was taking targeted drugs orally for 4 years although as each one stopped working, another was tried. At one time he had immunotherapy which had to be administered in hospital as an outpatient.
He coped wonderfully most of the time.

Eventually everything stopped working, the cancer spread to his lungs, to his bones and then he died. Luckily he was at home with us, his family.
