King Charles III has shared a public update on his cancer treatment, urging people to get tested. In a video statement, he acknowledged that a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming but emphasized that early detection brings hope.

King Charles announced that doctors are scaling back his cancer treatment after positive response to early diagnosis and effective intervention.

King Charles spoke about the importance of early cancer detection and cancer screenings in a video message on Friday.

Though King Charles had updated the public on the good news of his cancer update, new reports indicate that Queen Camilla was initially opposed to making her husband’s cancer diagnosis public.

Since then, Charles has used his own story to highlight the need for early diagnosis and treatment. Cancer Research UK recorded a 33% increase in visits to its website in the weeks after the king’s diagnosis, as people sought information about the signs of cancer.
