🔗 Share this article Sovereign to Share Intimate Address on His Health Battle in Nationwide Address His Majesty has filmed a personal message regarding his battle with cancer, scheduled for transmission as part of this year's annual cancer awareness drive, spearheaded by Cancer Research UK and a major network. Buckingham Palace confirmed the King would discuss his "healing process" as a cancer patient, in a televised statement on Friday at 8pm UK time. The address, taped inside a royal residence recently, will stress the critical nature of cancer screening checks to increase the likelihood more people catch the disease at an initial point. This will be a infrequent public commentary on the health of the Sovereign, who has been undergoing regular treatment since the news was shared in early last year. However, it is believed doubtful the King will identify his particular diagnosis. Fundraising Core Mission The annual charity event each year generates donations for clinical trials and treatment and encourages people to get screenings to boost the probability of an timely detection. The King's relative openness about his health challenge, and his experience as a patient, has been intended to promote education and to get more people to get screened - and this will be advanced with this exceptional personal contribution. To date the King's key philosophy to his cancer has been to keep working, preserving a full diary in spite of his regular rounds of treatment, and he appears not to have desired to be characterised by his diagnosis. Recently has seen the Sovereign, embarking on several overseas trips, such as visits to Italy and Canada, and hosting the highest tally of official guests to the UK for a generation, which included the German president recently. Friday's Evening Programme The upcoming charity show on the network, featuring presenters such as several TV personalities, will appeal to people not to be scared of getting cancer checks. The hosts have been personally touched by cancer - Davina McCall said last month she had received treatment for breast cancer, while Clare Balding was diagnosed with thyroid cancer more than 15 years ago. Host Hills has previously mentioned his parent, who had stomach cancer and then later blood cancer. The broadcast will target the estimated nine million people in the UK who health organisations estimate are not compliant with NHS screening schemes, with an website to let people check if they are qualified for examinations for breast, bowel and cervical cancer. In an bid to demystify screenings and illustrate the benefit of timely identification there will be a live broadcast from cancer clinics at medical facilities in Cambridge. "My aim is to reduce the stigma surrounding cancer screening and prove everyone that they are not alone in this," commented a presenter. Available Screening Programmes At present in the UK, there are three national health screening services - for bowel, breast and cervical cancer - accessible for certain age groups. A recently launched preventative initiative is also being gradually implemented for people at high risk of being diagnosed with the condition, primarily aimed at people in a specific age bracket, who currently smoke or have smoked in the past. Men may request prostate screenings, but there is not a universal scheme currently available. Ongoing Efforts The Stand Up to Cancer project, which has generated £113m over the past decade, is funding dozens of clinical trials involving many patients. The Monarch, in a message for dignitaries at a gathering for related organisations in earlier this year, had referred to recognising the "daunting and at times scary reality" for patients and their support networks. But he noted his personal journey of managing cancer had shown him that "periods of great challenge of sickness can be brightened by the kindness of others," as he commended those who cared for cancer patients. Royal representatives has not revealed the nature of cancer the King has, or the therapies he has been given. The King's cancer was identified subsequent to he had undergone a medical treatment.
