[Mikado]

That sucks. Fuck cancer.

Though a dark part of me imagines the staff at the Royal Mints of Canada and the UK being like
Uh, let's put a hold on those new coins for a minute.

 

[Kar]

old man has cancer.

 

[Ocean Dweller]

bad disease for a bad man

 

[YCoCg]

If he does die from this then that's some ironic fate, he's waited most of his life to be king! The King Charles curse continues it seems.

 

[Oberstein]

Contrary to previous comments, King Charles did not bury the monarchy after Elizabeth's death. I hope he recovers.

Wondered how long it would take for someone to come with an Era style comment, congrats on showcasing your lack of tact so quickly

 

[Rentahamster]

That sucks. I really wish we could do a Manhattan Project for curing cancer. Humans have strange priorities.

 

[winjer]

 

[Fake]

Hope he is doing fine. Thats sucks.

 

[diffusionx]

This dude sat around for a good 30-40 years waiting to become king and isn't even going to get to enjoy it

"Your highness, I regret to inform you that there is a cancer."

"Scotland?"

"No, your highness....."

"The irish then? Blimey bastards!"

"No, no, not even the Welsh, sire. YOU have cancer."

"Ah, Meghan then. Very well, use all the xrays and drugs necessary to eradicate her."

"Oh sire...."


all in good fun. Cancer sucks but I'm sure he'll get good treatment. Prostate I'm guessing?

 

[Bojji]

bad disease for a bad man

Good people also get cancer, kids even.

 

[Fbh]

Sucks for him.
Also never realized he is "only" 75. Kinda looks bad for his age.

maybe it's just me but i can't really read this piece of news and be like "yaas" no matter who it might be.

The word cancer just scares the shit out of me.

[Kilau]

I don't know if they have said but it's a good guess. Supposedly all men if they live long enough will eventually develop prostate cancer. It is very treatable if caught early enough.

 

[Draugoth]

If anyone can survive cancer it's this dude

 

[Werewolf Jones]

They'll jump pump him with adrenochrome and he'll tank it and shake it off.

Otherwise... William is next I guess?

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

I don't know if they have said but it's a good guess. Supposedly all men if they live long enough will eventually develop prostate cancer. It is very treatable if caught early enough.

They specifically said it was not prostate cancer in the article linked in the OP, so it's unlikely.

He's a cunt, but no one deserves cancer.

 

[IDKFA]

Hope the King makes a full recovery.

It's been a rough few years as a Royalist. I can't take any more bad news.

 

[AJUMP23]

Not my king.

But I hope his family can be of comfort during their struggle. Did you know that during WW1 they changed their name to the House of Winsor so they would sound less German. old name Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.

 

[IDKFA]

Not my king.

I do wish we could bring back the House of Plantagenet line and give them absolute power, but that's just a dream.

 

[FatallyYours]

Not a massive Royalist, but he doesn't deserve cancer. No one does

Hope he's fine, but it's a good way for him to abdicate and let William have a decent go at the role and maybe modernise the whole thing a little?

 

[AJUMP23]

I do wish we could bring back the House of Plantagenet line and give them absolute power, but that's just a dream.

Didn't that line die in a field in Hastings?

Just go back to the Saxon kings.

 

[IDKFA]

Didn't that line die in a field in Hastings?

No. That line died in a field in Bosworth in 1485.

 

[AJUMP23]

No. That line died in a field in Bosworth in 1485.

I got the field part right.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Cancer sucks.

 

[nush]

But cheated with and simped for

Thoughts and prayers king Charles.

 

[dave_d]

They specifically said it was not prostate cancer in the article linked in the OP, so it's unlikely.

I saw that too. It just makes you wonder which particular cancer he has since that makes a huge difference.(Thyroid or hairy cell leukemia would probably lead to a good prognosis. Liver, kidney, or pancreatic, not so good.)

 

[Kilau]

Oh, I missed that.

 

[SidViscous]

Worst part is we're now going to get a lot of TV coverage about the Royal family again, due to something that happens to 1 in 3 of us. Rustles my republican jimmies.

 

[clarky]

You wish.

1 in 2.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

There's an inappropriate Harry joke in here but I'll just say good luck. He'll get the absolute best treatment.

Cancer is bullshit and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

 

[AJUMP23]

His mother was queen for generations and had no cancer. Charles is king for 8 months already has cancer.

Although officially Liz died of old age, I'm positive there were reports that she had bone cancer towards the end

 

[Ozriel]

That sucks. I really wish we could do a Manhattan Project for curing cancer. Humans have strange priorities.

Most of Big Pharma are researching cancer cures. Untold billions spent in research so far. There’s no priorities issue there.

 

[Ozriel]

Good people also get cancer, kids even.

Watched my uncle spend his life savings trying to resolve his cancer issue. When he realized it’d eventually leave his wife an indebted widow, he pulled the plug on further treatment and died eventually.

During COVID, my former boss complained of nausea and general malaise. Drove himself to the hospital after weeks of bad health. He got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer - one of the worst ones - and died a month later.

I wouldn’t wish this disease on an enemy. Not the biggest fan of King Charles, but I hope he beats this.

 

[ReBurn]

Hopefully he pulls through

 

[ManaByte]

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Bro, I read the headline and this has been my only thought about the whole thing.

 

[Rentahamster]

Okay, but that's not what I was talking about.

 

[Ozriel]

Okay, but that's not what I was talking about.

Ah ok. I misunderstood then.

 

[Carton]

I saw that too. It just makes you wonder which particular cancer he has since that makes a huge difference.(Thyroid or hairy cell leukemia would probably lead to a good prognosis. Liver, kidney, or pancreatic, not so good.)

Likely a focal lesion on his bladder discovered whilst performing his prostate resection.

Cancer is one of the worst things ever, every one of us can get it. Right now I have 2 close ones with it and one of them (my fiance's sister) is 40 years old, she is having surgery this week so let's hope she will recover.

I don't like King Charles but unless he is convicted child rapist or something I don't really think he deserves it, no one really does. With amount of money royal family has he has higher chance for recovery but in the end, we are all on the mercy of grim reaper no matter how much billions is on our bank accounts.

 

[SiahWester]

Prostate cancer and it was removed.

He was friends with serial child rapist and murderer Jimmy Saville and his own brother has been outed as being one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent customers. Nothing has come out of Charles, but it really wouldn't surprise me if it did.

Elites are are full of people like that so it wouldn't surprise me too. But so far there is no evidence.

 

[Elektro Demon]

Don't really give a shit for royalty.
