And well done King Charles for being open and up-front about it, rather than keeping it shrouded in mystery as it would have been not so long ago. Hopefully (as with his prostrate problem) revealing what is going will be a positive model for others, encouraging them to get checked out.

I do wish however media wouldn't make out treatment is like having a covid jab, or taking a headache tablet.

It’s called “incidental diagnosis”. BBC says “one in five cancers is actually diagnosed when patients are being seen for something else, according to Macmillan Cancer Support analysis of NHS data.”
KC is being treated almost straight away. BBC says “The NHS target is for cancer treatment to start within 62 days of the disease being suspected.” I expect we all know someone who’s waited longer than that.
