The Princess of Wales talked with cancer patients about how tough chemotherapy is and how attached she got to the port that delivered the drugs, joking that she hesitated when she learned it could be taken out.

Catherine also offered her deep gratitude to the medical team who looked after her “so well,” said she is in remission and reflected on how “it takes time to adjust to a new normal.” 

Catherine’s comments during her recent visit to the Royal Marsden hospital in London, where she had her treatment, and a subsequent Instagram post offered insight into her experience since her diagnosis nearly a year ago.

But as she became a joint patron of the hospital, with her husband, Prince William, who has been its president since 2007, Catherine also signalled the importance that role could hold for her in the future.
