"Pity the rest of the country don't get the same speed and quality of care "I think treatment is pretty swift for most when it's cancer that can be identified / treated, but yes, i agree that he has probably been afforded priority treatment as King I think the bigger, positive, impact is that by going public with the diagnosis and treatment, it will encourage other men to be tested and hopefully have any issues identified earlier, so they too can get treatment | |||

"He just got dealt an excellent set of playing cards. A Royal Flush ?" I shouldn't laugh 
I wish him well and anyone facing similar, but let's not for one moment think he is going through this the same way as us minions. For one thing he'll have access to the best care and drugs (no postcode lottery). He hasn't got income worries. He hasn't got financial concerns for those he leaves (eventually) behind. If he were to be in hospital for a long period, he wouldn't get benefits cut. I'm sure he'll survive whatever this is. And due to his privilege, it's unlikely he has a myriad of co-morbidities that others have due to poor nutrition/housing and so. He has familial longevity on his side from both parents. | |||

Chemotherapy makes you extremely sick and fragile regardless of wealth. Maybe you have watched too much South Park and think melting down cash and injecting it into their veins gives them better chemo 
Cancer kills regardless of wealth.
It's not a race to the bottom.
Watching people close to me die from Cancer, I wouldn't ever say its easier for someone. You can be mega rich and still suffer from pain, sickness, depression etc.
That's including nhs and private care. It's such a narrow minded and uncompassionate view. Do you feel the same about your favourite celebrities? And all wealthy people in general?

" It's not a race to the bottom. " Some might say that's a sick joke, I don't: I see that differently. Bowel and prostate and testicular cancer affects a lot of men, who far too often, leave it too late. Because its-down-there-ewww! This procrastination needs to stop and appealing to the competitive nature, racing is pretty primeval and universal, something the fragile male ego understands. "Race to the bottom" should be used by all the relevant charities advertising campaigns, to persuade men into not procrastinating and getting checked out now, not later. Look how "Stand up to cancer" works as a brand/slogan. | |||

"Hopefully the king and Harry can build bridges." Civil engineering? Civility doesn't appear to have been the name of the game in recent years. One hopes they can at least build one from balsa wood. | |||

""Pity the rest of the country don't get the same speed and quality of care " They do. As a medic and someone just been through surgery, chemo and radiotherapy the only real difference between NHS and private care is not speed of treatment but a better menu. The vast majority of patients will be out patients, apart from a stay in hospital post surgery. Radiotherapy and chemo is a nip into a cancer centre, maybe a daily 30 minutes in radiotherapy and your chemo sessions, as and when. Sounds easy, in reality, its brutal. But I'm through it and back at work and like most patients in about 18 months post surgery will be my new normal. Hope everyone, including the King will end the cancer journey not too damaged. Good luck to everyone who hears the dreaded word during consultation. "It is brutal. I wish you well | |||

He's the King. I don't expect him to be on a waiting list for anything.
I do, along with anyone in government...maybe then the NHS wouldn't be in the shit show mess it is.
My parents both have some medical issues currently, trying to even get a GP appointment is near impossible, my dad has been waiting 3 months so far for some treatment, only to find somebody didn't submit the form correctly...the current waiting time for an appointment is apparently 10 months!
Pretty sure Charlie boy didn't have that problem."I dont agree even though getting past triage is sometimes ridiculous and can take 3 days as soon as my partner was diagnosed with clots in her lungs and abdomen she was treated and put on a regimen of care that was out of this world thanks NHS | |||

"That’s horrible news. I hope that he recovers quickly, he will definitely get the best care. For those commenting about his birthright and such; yes he gets privileges based on the ‘luck’ of his birth. Just as we all do from being born in this country. Unless you’re going to up sticks, give your money to charity and dive into a shanty slum somewhere, you’re also living with privilege and benefit from it daily. Don’t be so quick to point fingers " Nah. The privilege of being a royal is in no way comparable to the privilege of not living in a slum. By this logic you can't complain about anyone's preferential treatment unless you're the poorest, most disadvantaged person in the world. I don't wish Charles any harm but it's completely reasonable to be against the unearned privilege he has. | |||
