Because of course this ahole would post this.

I’ve managed to miss the whole turbo cancer nonsense but it’s something anti vax doctors are pushing.

They really need to start yanking licenses.

My GF predicted weeks ago that it was cancer, and that the reason for the secrecy was various ghastly courtiers, advisors and other sundry upper class misogynist twits found the thought of malfunctioning lady parts so impossible to bear, they put a lid on the whole story. Depressingly, I think she’s probably right :confused:

Looks like he already lost his licence…

Its inactive at the moment, but he is of course still appealing.

I would not be suprised if these recent posts will earn him a new complaint if he ever gets his license back. He isn’t even a specialist in these topics, and definitely isn’t an oncologist:

Just for the sake of facts…they aren’t at boarding schools. Quoting Vogue UK, 19 December 2023:

All three are currently pupils together at Lambrook School, a local “feeder” primary school, which they will attend until they are 13.

It is, especially in Commonwealth countries, compulsory to know about this, and having opinions about things you are forced to know is a thing.

When we heard that Kate was “taking a couple of months off because of major ‘abdominal surgery’ (but we’re not going to tell you what, also, we have no problem making you think about King Chuck’s prostate)”, my wife came to two conclusions:

  1. It’s probably a hysterectomy, most likely because of fibroids, which are more common than you’d think but they’re not talked about because it’s “women’s business”, and
  2. It’s none of our business.

So when people are asking “what’s preventative chemo”, and going off on all sorts of bizarre tangents, here are some things which might explain things (which you may consider to be TMI, but you want info, you get info. Many of you won’t need this info because you already know it.):

  • Fibroids are growths in the uterus, which are usually benign (as in: not malignant).
  • Fibroids are amazingly common, and most uterus-owners may never know they have them, but can become major health issues in their own right.
  • Sometimes troublesome fibroids can be treated with keyhole surgery to reduce them, but if they get big enough, if they grow right back, or if they’re already too big by the time they’re diagnosed, then the only way to get rid of them entirely is to remove the entire organ.
  • Fibroids are a disorder of the uterus, so the ovaries can be left, so no hormone treatements are needed.
  • There is no such thing as a low-impact hysterectomy. It’s removing a large organ. A couple of months of recovery is the minimum.
  • While fibroids are usually benign, sometimes they’re not. So they are always checked, just in case.
  • If there is cancer detected in the samples taken, then there’s the possibility that they already removed it all along with the uterus. But there’s the chance that they did not, that there’s already cancerous cells elsewhere in the body ready to metastasise.
  • To prevent that, they will often prescribe “preventative chemotherapy”, just to make sure that any remaining cancer, if any, is killed before it can establish itself. It is ‘preventative’ because there is no known cancer, but it is being done to forestall the possibility.
  • It’s none of our business.
  • Fuck cancer.
