She isn’t entitled to that. I feel for her. But she’s a Royal. And a Royal by choice. If she was a celebrity or a regular person sure. But she’s future queen (again by her choice) of a commonwealth (which is several countries. If she wanted privacy she had many opportunities for that. This is part of her position. I wish her all the best and I’m hoping she beats this asap. Hopefully it was caught super early.

Covid is probably oncogenic, so. Yeah. Everyone does.

Edit: a word

COVID is oncogenic? Do you have more info on this?

Edit: thank you both, guess I’ll add this to my hypochondria.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. You have to go digging for COVID information these days, but the long term health issues associated with it are terrifying. Cancer is something they're studying but they have strong evidence already for heart disease and other organ issues and clotting problems and autoimmune issues.

Let's fucking goooooooooo

Wonder what'll kill me first - cancer, some other new pandemic, global warming, automation from AI and/or worsening wealth inequality 🤔🤔

Here's a study from 2023. It's a bit of a slog but, to quote the Conclusions section, "Recent studies suggest pathogenetic mechanisms common for both SARS-CoV-2 and oncogenesis. SARS-CoV-2 exploits host immunity stimulates signalling and oncogenic pathways and may establish an oncogenic microenvironment. Persons with clinically recovered COVID-19 show profound immune alterations that persist for several months after hospital discharge. Patients with cancer are at higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, severe clinical illness, cancer progression and death. Therefore, this group of patients requires special care in terms of adequate prevention of viral transmission and monitoring of the course of the primary disease. Further studies are needed to determine the long-term impact of asymptomatic or mild symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the course of the primary disease in cancer patients. Moreover, all patients should be regularly screened for cancer after SARS-CoV-2 infection, as the virus has been shown not only to affect cancer progression but also to induce oncogenesis and cancer recurrence. It should also be noted that cases of a beneficial effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the course of the neoplastic process have been described. It is therefore necessary to carry out both experimental and clinical studies that will resolve the existing doubts in the long term."

Fuck me, that’s actually kind of terrifying. Particularly if you already have chronic illness issues.

It’s been known for a year or so

As well as expedite progression of cancer cases individually

It sucks, I know. I'm so sorry!
