According to the Dutch Cancer Society, it is good that British King Charles has been open about his cancer diagnosis. A government spokesman told AFP: “The fact that a public figure like King Charles is speaking out about his illness can offer people support and appreciation and make it easier to discuss the matter yourself.”
According to KWF, one in two people will be diagnosed with cancer. “KWF feels it is very important for people to be open about their illness and to be able to go somewhere to have a listening ear.” That's why the organization has special centers where people can go to talk about their experiences.
In addition, awareness about this disease is increased in this way. “It's good to be aware of how to recognize cancer in a timely manner. For example, you can participate in population research to detect cancer early. Britain's National Health Service (NHS) reported on Friday that significantly more men underwent prostate screening after the announcement of Charles will undergo prostate surgery. The type of cancer the King is suffering from has not been revealed. It is clearly not prostate cancer.
Charles himself on Saturday described it as “heartening” that his diagnosis had led to increased awareness of the disease.
