A message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales
As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.
The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.
The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.
With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.
This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.
Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.
I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.
Despite all that has gone before I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.
William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling.
To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.

@support please help you have locked @BetterStartBfd account I run thinking the account is under 10 as I put a birthdate to reflect when we were established 10 years ago. We need access as it is our work account. I’ve filled form twice and sent my ID.
.@bradfordcouncil I'm trying to reach your council tax department - 2 forms sent online, 2 calls made, held for 20 minutes each time and line goes dead! You have taken council tax from a property I no longer own and I need a reimbursement of £496 - (charged double as empty!)
.@Morrisons Thornbury you need to check your @kingssnacks beef jerky. Bought this yesterday!!! Did not expect use by date to be Jan 2023 as discovered upon opening this v expensive snack!!
.@HMRCcustomers £100 penalty for my dead mum’s tax return! She was paying £930 per week in a care home but still has to do a tax return oh and then when you send me letter you chased me for my dad’s tax return (he died in 1999) You’re a disgrace! Been on phone 45 minutes waiting!
Disappointed yet again that your company @VirginMediaCorp@richardbranson has no bloody sense. Mum in a care home - tried to inform you in April and you are insisting we pay £140.00 for June!!! TV being turned on once a week for 2 hours!! #numptys
We had an absolutely fabulous Presentation Evening on Friday night. It was so wonderful for all of our families, coaches, sponsors and players to be all together again to celebrate.
Thank you so much @FarsleyWMC for having us.
Watch this space for a write up of the event.
It has been great to host @28_leeds at our academy.
We are delighted to hear you have enjoyed using our facilities and we look forward to hearing of your achievements during the next season.
