@LizziB I see it from a different perspective. He's not the only person with cancer, and by sharing it of course gets top VIP treatment from the Government, the public and private medical professionals. Many people are still on a horrific waiting list for diagnosis alone but because of the royalty and his title he is immediately treated. My husband has both skin and prostate cancer and deals with the government hospitals like the normal public. He has waited 4 years alone for radiotherapy treatment which he only started yesterday. Hormonal injections, chemotherapy, waiting for hospital and doctor's appointments, cancellation of appointments and more have had a massive impact on both of us, including all of the side effects that have come with the treatment so far given. I am so grateful to the NHS for all they have done for him so far.

I don't agree with the way it takes over the news, media and more when other people with cancer are just left alone.

An extra tax should be put on alcohol which should go to the NHS for the care these people.
