🔗 Share this article Sovereign to Share Personal Address on Illness in TV Programme King Charles has filmed a intimate address regarding his battle with cancer, set to air as part of this year's Stand Up To Cancer drive, spearheaded by medical research organisations and a television broadcaster. Buckingham Palace confirmed the King would talk about his "recovery journey" as a individual battling cancer, in a televised statement on Friday at 8pm UK time. The address, taped inside his London residence two weeks ago, will highlight the importance of preventative health checks to ensure more people detect the disease at an treatable phase. This constitutes a rare update on the health of the King, who has been in a course of therapy since the news was shared in early last year. But it is thought improbable the King will disclose his type of cancer. Fundraising Primary Goal The Stand Up To Cancer initiative each year collects money for clinical trials and patient care and encourages people to get screenings to boost the odds of an prompt identification. The King's candid approach about his health challenge, and managing the disease, has been aimed to promote education and to encourage more people to get checked - and this will be taken a step further with this exceptional royal involvement. To date the King's primary strategy to his cancer has been to continue his schedule, maintaining a busy schedule alongside his ongoing course of therapy, and he appears not to have desired to be defined by his diagnosis. Recently has seen the Sovereign, undertaking several foreign visits, including to Italy and Canada, and receiving the highest tally of official guests to the UK for decades, including the German president last week. Charity Broadcast Event Friday evening's awareness broadcast on the network, hosted by celebrities like a team of famous hosts, will appeal to people not to be frightened of getting health screenings. Each presenter have been affected by cancer - McCall revealed in November she had undergone surgery for a tumour, while another presenter was diagnosed with a thyroid condition more than 15 years ago. Presenter Hills has previously discussed his parent, who had one form of cancer and then later another illness. The show will appeal to the estimated nine million people in the UK who charities says are not up to date with public health checks, with an digital tool to let people determine if they are qualified for examinations for key health indicators. In an effort to clarify cancer checks and demonstrate the value of timely identification there will be a real-time transmission from hospital departments at two Cambridge hospitals in Cambridge. "The goal is to reduce the stigma out of preventative tests and demonstrate all people that they are not on their own in this," said one of the hosts. The Landscape of Health Checks Right now in the UK, there are a number of NHS cancer screening programmes - for bowel, breast and cervical cancer - accessible for specific demographics. A recently launched preventative initiative is also being gradually implemented for individuals at high risk of being diagnosed with the condition, primarily aimed at people of a certain age, who are smokers or were former smokers. Male patients may discuss specific tests, but there is not a universal scheme currently available. Ongoing Efforts The Stand Up to Cancer initiative, which has generated £113m since 2012, is financing 73 research studies with thousands of patients. His Majesty, in a statement for guests at a event for related organisations in earlier this year, had discussed recognising the "daunting and at times frightening situation" for patients and their families. But he stated his first-hand encounter of living with cancer had shown him that "the darkest moments of sickness can be illuminated by the kindness of others," as he commended those who supported individuals with the illness. Official sources has not disclosed what kind of cancer the King has, or what treatment he has undergone. The King's cancer was discovered subsequent to he had received a prostate procedure.
