And I think that she is going to survive. She&#8217;s going to come out of this feeling strong. She&#8217;s young. And I think that she was very, very brave to make the announcement herself. Very brave, very unusual for a while to do that.

It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family. But I&#8217;ve had a fantastic medical team who&#8217;ve taken great care of me for which I&#8217;m so grateful.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London. And at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation on cancer had been present.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;This of course, came as a huge shock. And Wiliam and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;As you can imagine, this has taken time, it has taken me time to recover for major surgery in order to start my treatment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/dame-joan-collins-shares-great-admiration-catherine-princess-wales-following-cancer-shock-1396726.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>23 March 2024 Dame Joan Collins thinks it was &#8220;very brave&#8221; of Catherine, Princess of Wales to announce her cancer diagnosis alone.
