The former Duchess of York and the mother of Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice have just given the raw and unpleasant truth about her cancer.
It has all been shared in her piece at The Times, for Teenage Cancer Trust’s campaign that works under the hashtag, #andyoungpeople.
“I was 63 years old when I was diagnosed with cancer for the first time, and cancer of any age is traumatic,” she began by saying.
“But as adults, we have maturity and life experience to help us advocate for ourselves and cope with challenges.”
At the same time “We can seek help if we need it, and most importantly our voices are unfortunately often taken more seriously.”
But “a group I feel is consistently neglected by those who develop health plans and policies are teens and young,” she admitted all the time, while calling her own cancer a “death sentence” or a “bomb” waiting to go.
The Teenage Cancer Trust cartridge also added near the end how teens are exposed to treatment measures that are not tailored to their age area. Often, even beds are not where they can easily fit in, and called for teens to be added to the national cancer plan in England via her campaign, which acts as an ‘open letter’ to Wes Streeting, the health secretary.
