    King Charles III says his cancer journey brought the best of humanity into focus | AP News

    The article doesn't say what kind of cancer but another site said it was pancreatic, and he had less than two years to live. He waited so long to be King and now it looks like his reign won't be that long. Wishing him the best as he fights whatever cancer he does have.

    Unless it is a new one, he was diagnosed in February 2024.

    Everyone knew he wasn't going to have a long reign. History is going to look at him mostly as being a placeholder between Elizabeth II and soon to be (in the next few years) William V.

    I read several articles and one article mentioned that doing a follow up on his prostrate cancer treatment they discovered another issue, so I think this is a new one.

    Buckingham Palace announced in a statement on Feb. 5, 2024, that Charles had been diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer.

    During a treatment to address a benign enlarged prostate condition the month prior, doctors found something else. “A separate issue of concern was noted,” officials said.

    Further diagnostic tests revealed that Charles has “a form of cancer.” In the months since the announcement, no further statements from the palace have confirmed any additional details about his condition or the type of cancer the king has, but they have shared that it’s not prostate cancer.

    Pancreatic cancer is usually a death sentence... Good luck to him.
