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 also (I admit I don't know much about the treatment of course) but its wild...the trip is 11 days , so is he getting treatment like once a week?

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.
