Queen Camilla paid homage to Scottish culture in Queen Mary's glittering brooch as she joined King Charles at the Scottish Parliament's 25th anniversary celebration today.

The Diamond Thistle Brooch initially belonged to Queen Mary - the wife of King George V - and was passed down to her granddaughter the late Queen Elizabeth II upon her death.

"The 75-year-old monarch
will undertake a significant official visit beginning on October 18,
taking in Sydney and Canberra,
immediately followed by a State Visit to Samoa in the South Pacific
where he will attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.

The King
will then pick up with his treatment cycle
as soon as he returns to the UK."

I was just wondering the same thing. Once a week sounds possible. It’s never a good thing to delay treatment, but a few days may be allowed in his situation. It’s up to the patient, though.
 
I’m very curious about the chemo both the King and Princess of Wales Catherine have been treated with.

I do not know anyone who has kept (seemingly) all of their hair during chemo treatment.

To me, it’s huge improvement to quality of life and should be available to every cancer patient if practical.

Just my two cents worth.
 
IMO, MOO

If the King misses a couple of days between treatments I don’t think it matters in the grand scheme of things.

A small fever can cause a delay in treatment as do certain blood results. Doctors often delay treatments by a few days, not more than a week or so though.

I believe the Kings trip was shorter than he had hoped, probably for medical reasons.

Breast Cancer treatment has been usually associated with hair loss, but many traditional chemotherapies are not. The newer monoclonal antibody treatments usually do not result in hair loss.

My dad had terminal cancer of the oesophagus about 1995 and he kept his hair. He was on a device that was hooked up to him through a Hickman line that gave automatic doses of chemo. The device was kinda like carrying a walkman around, worn on a belt. A friend of mine had surgery to remove cancer in an ovary and afterwards had 6 months of 'preventive' chemo and she kept her hair, though I think it thinned a bit. So while we tend to think of cancer and baldness as synonymous, they're not for everyone. I think it just depends on which chemo drug is used, which depends on the type of cancer.
 
Bon appétit! :D

"Diners are to be given the chance
to experience an 18th century feast in the King's favourite room at his Scottish stately home –
from £375 a head.

Charles takes most of his evening meals in the Pink Dining Room
while staying at Dumfries House in Ayrshire,
which he has renovated.

Now his charity,
The King's Foundation,
is offering a private dining experience,
allowing members of the public the opportunity to enjoy a three-course meal,
authentic to the 1700s and served by a traditional butler,
in the royal chamber."

Sometimes the chemo is in pill form. I don’t know if there is hair loss with it though.

In addition to the good observations above about different chemo approaches, there were also methods to retain hair ten years ago when I was undergoing chemo (so far, so good re my treatments). I would guess some of those methods have also improved.

And if anyone in the Royal Family used wigs or hair pieces or other assistance, that’s fine, too. The Duchess has young children who need love and reassurance, and the King and she have royal responsibilities regardless of scheduled appearances. And sometimes mantaining a healthier outward appearance can boost personal morale during trying times. JMHO.
