Kate Middleton completes chemotherapy: Out of darkness, can come light


Kate Middleton, Britain’s Princess of Wales, on Monday revealed that she has completed her chemotherapy treatment and said that she plans to maintain a light schedule of public engagements through the remainder of the year.

“Staying cancer-free is now my top priority,” she said in a video message, nearly six months after disclosing that she had been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer, following widespread public speculation regarding her health.

“The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you,” Kate Middleton said.

“With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything,” she added.

Kate was last spotted at Wimbledon’s men’s final at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London in July.

In today’s video, Kate thanked people for the support she and her family received and said that “although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes”.

“I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can,” she added.

Kate, wife of the heir to the throne, Prince William, also said that she has entered a new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.

“William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling,” she said.

“To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright,” the 42-year-old princess added.
