King Charles<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0has made a rare comment today about his\u00a0cancer<\/a>\u00a0journey while meeting with a former cancer patient in Bradford.<\/p>\n

The 76-year-old received his diagnosis in February last year following a procedure at a\u00a0London<\/a>\u00a0hospital\u00a0to treat an enlarged prostate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On a day in Bradford with Queen Camilla to celebrate the location’s ‘City of Culture’ designation, he spoke about the cancer treatment he’s been receiving for around 15 months. <\/p>\n

He chatted to former cancer patient, florist Safeena Khan, who said: ‘He asked me how I was, and I asked him how he was. There was some pleasantries towards the end, but it was a lovely conversation.’<\/p>\n

Ms Khan said the King gave her a ‘thumbs up’ when she asked how he was doing with his outpatient treatment.<\/p>\n

The monarch added: ‘I’d like to think I’m on the better side (of my cancer journey).’<\/p>\n

What type of cancer does King Charles have?<\/h2>\n

The palace has never disclosed what type of cancer Charles has or what treatment he has undergone.<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace said at the time: \u2018No further details are being shared at this stage, except to confirm that His Majesty does not have prostate cancer.\u2019<\/p>\n

Charles, who supported several cancer charities as Prince of Wales, chose to share his diagnosis, \u2018to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer\u2019, palace officials said.<\/p>\n

Where Charles is being treated and whether it is an NHS or private hospital have not been confirmed.<\/p>\n

He was briefly taken to the hospital in March after suffering side effects from his cancer treatment<\/a>. Palace officials did not describe the nature of these side effects, beyond saying they \u2018required a short period of observation in hospital\u2019 and that he is on track.<\/p>\n

The stint did not impact the king\u2019s increasingly busy schedule too much. In recent months, he has made several foreign and domestic trips.<\/p>\n
