London [UK], September 10: Princess Kate has completed chemotherapy and said she will focus on her recovery from cancer.
In a video posted on September 9, Princess Kate said she felt relieved that her preventive chemotherapy had ended after nine months of "extremely difficult" and "scary" treatment for her and her family, The Guardian reported.
She added that the road to full recovery is still very long and there are many unknowns ahead. Princess Kate said she will do everything possible to stay cancer-free . Normally, a patient after cancer treatment needs to be monitored and if no cancer cells are detected after 5 years, they are officially declared cured.
"The process of having cancer also helps you face your own weaknesses that you never thought of before, along with a new perspective on everything," the princess shared.
"The past few months have reminded William and I to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life that so many of us often take for granted. Simply loving and being loved," she added.
Kate, 42, spent two weeks in hospital in January after abdominal surgery. Two months later, she announced that she had cancer. Her office, Kensington Palace , said chemotherapy began in February and did not specify what type of cancer she had.
Kate's openness about her cancer diagnosis and treatment, and her frank sharing of her feelings with her family, has been welcomed by many experts in the cancer field. There has been speculation that Kate could take on a leading role in cancer research or charities.
Mrs. Kate said she has started working from home and will participate in some light outdoor activities in the final months of this year.
