We are deeply saddened to learn that HM The King has been diagnosed with cancer. Whenever anyone hears the news that they have cancer, they will feel a whole range of emotions – sadness, anger, confusion, worry, and more.

As The Prince of Wales, His Royal Highness became Patron of Penny Brohn UK in 1980, and became close friends with Penny and co-founder Pat Pilkington, and a supporter of our personalised cancer care approach. At Penny Brohn UK, we support people to live well with cancer, and offer a range of services and tools to support health and wellbeing. We know that a cancer diagnosis affects every aspect of a person’s life, from their physical, emotional, and spiritual health to their work, family and relationships. Evidence shows that supporting your physical and emotional resilience during cancer can improve your outcome, and we are sure that HM The King will be following a similar holistic approach to his care. We are offering our support to him at this difficult time.

If you – or someone you know – is living with cancer, please spend time looking at our website to find out more about the toolbox of support we can offer. Our services are free to use, backed by evidence and many are offered online so you can join from wherever you are.

We are sending our best wishes to HM The King and everyone who is currently living with cancer.
