English Kings named Charles and dying due to their own stubbornness - name a better duo.

It means at his age the only thing cancer treatment can do is prolong your 5 year survival without regard to quality of life. Nothing he will do at this point will really prolong his life further than it has gone and taking chemo will undoubtedly ruin the last few years and chances are chemo doesn’t work and you die near-term anyway. Oncology has pitiful success rates.
I have family that got cancer around 75, had chemo and lived another 15 years, and that was treatment on the NHS, not the best care money can buy.
Absolutely an edge case and not typical of anyone’s experience. Several of my family members are dead after painful chemo in their 50s
It’s an outlier sure, but it’s not tremendously unlikely. 61% of men diagnosed with cancer at 75 survive at least 5 years.
I simply do not believe that first statistic that you googled from a Finnish study. 80 is over the median age of most people. Now if you are King Charles and you are probably going to die in 5 - 10 years anyway do you want to spend your last 5 years extremely sick getting poisoned by chemo or do you want to spend it doped up on drugs having everything you can possibly want while you get to be the king you waited for 75 years to be then meet the inevitable anyway?
80 is over the median age of most people
Sure, but if you make it to 75, you are considerably more likely to make it to 80 than the median person.
The median person also does not have parents that each made it to their late 90s, or access to the world’s best medicine.
And you really think someone who has the best medicine in the would choose to not treat because they are dumb dumbs or because they probably know its useless to treat? If I were him I wouldn’t take chemo either after watching what it did to my sister in her 50s.
hope it hurts.Chemotherapy is fucking awful and I understand why someone might not want to do it, and these days there might be alternatives, specially if you have the resources of the British monarchy.
At any rate, I hope the cancer wins.
Norm MacDonald may be shitty but he did manage to be funny so to paraphrase 'really the best cancer can hope for is a draw ’
Well, RIP.
Out of curiosity how did charles ii die? I know the OG king charles died of a minor body part separation
Seizures, probably from kidney failure. The more interesting thing with him was all the human skull he consumed as medicine trying to treat it.
he died in the 1600s so it’s not clear. wikipedia says “apoplectic fit” which is loosely defined as having an organ rupture. some suspect he was killed. contemporary analysis suggests kidney disease from mercury exposure.
gbnews, as a source for anything, is as reliable as your nan’s facebook
Mine is pretty solid. She says happy birthday on everyone’s birthday and that’s all. Honestly THE source for when her friends list’s birthdays are
genuinely heartwarming, love your nan
Had a scare with her over the weekend…turns out she was very constipated, but she’s 90 and any trip to the hospital is an everyone gets a text thing now of course. Last grandparent I’ve got so nice to see her kicking.
Tbf he does love alt “medicine” (sugar pills)
Whether he was just grifiting or if he truly believes it who knows.
i’m wishcasting he shoves fruit juice up his ass instead of getting actual treatment
feudal holdover believes in potions, more at 11
wasn’t there some controversy here about GB News being a sort of shitty site for news? He is a big supporter of alternative medicine, and that dude Michael Dixon is a homeopath and also leads the medical team for the monarchy. But idk this is also just one dude saying this. It would be pretty funny though if he actually did this.
They employ a bunch of right wing cranks like Nigel Farage and Andrew Neil, so as much as we all want this to be true, consider the source.
Critical support to the King in his desire to off himself by refusing the finest medical treatment in the world.
My guess is that at the moment he’s taking advice from a man called Michael Dixon, who he’s championed for many years, has headed his own natural alternative medicinal institute
Looking into this dude just keeps getting better and better lmfao, Charles made him “head of the Royal Medical Household”
Fighting cancer by using a diffuser containing peppermint oil
We’re in fucking 1320 motherfucker.
The King is ailing and needs herbs and potions to keep him alive. The taxes are going up and your children are being requisitioned by the Crown.
But also critical support to the king and the pepto bismol he thinks will help.
Would his majesty be interested in the traditional royal treatment of being fed a solution of powdered lead and mercury (the royal metal!) by some kind of court appointed alchemist/astrologer?
isn’t he like 98 years old or some shit, like at some point I feel like you gotta do the math and figure out if fucking up all the cellular replication in your body and all the consequent fun side effects of that is worth getting rid of a cancer that might not even kill you for another 5+ years
anyway hope he does the chemo and dies anyway fuck im
75 so younger than both Biden and Trump.
Damn and Liz died at 96/ Phillip at 99, if he lives as long his parents (very doubtful) he’d be king til 2045-2050
christ alive everything is so bad lmao
fuck yeah kingo do a flip
