King gives Krebkampf -update as he meets the disease in the hospital

The king told a cancer patient “I am not bad” when he was asked for his own recovery during a visit to open a new hospital.

Charles also said, “Half of the problem is to recognize it in time” and said: “The great thing is that they are getting better and better with these things.”

“There is always hope on the street, he added.

In a separate, he joked that he “discovered” that “parts do not work so well when they are over 70”.

He met Matthew Shinda during a visit to Midland Metropolitan University Hospital to officially open it.

Matthew told The King about his cancer and revealed: “Last step. I could go today, I could go tomorrow.”

Matthew was with daughter Philippa Matthew, 52, younger sister Jessie Sharif (60) and Ms. Elizabeth Shinda (74).

The king has been subjected to cancer treatment since January last year. He went to the hospital for an enlarged prostate when the doctors found that he had the disease.

The palace has not confirmed what kind of cancer Charles has, but it is considered no prostate.

King Charles asked how long Matthew had been here and asked: “Did you give you the right treatment? Wonderful nurses.”

And he joked that “they have to go up endless elevators to go somewhere” in the building.

Matthew said to the king: “It is nice to see that they relax well.”

The king replied: “I’m not bad, thank you.” Matthew said to him: “I have the same illness. It is prostate. Last stage. I could go today, tomorrow.”

Charles said: “Half of the problem is to recognize it, not true, in time.”

Matthew then explained how he was diagnosed when doctors found a previously undiscovered lump.

Charles said: “As long as they make you comfortable.

Matthew said: “Of course. This is one of the priorities. Make it comfortable for me.

Charles said: “The great thing I think that they are getting better and better with these things. The problem is that there is always hope on the street.

“I’m sorry, it’s so frustrating.” We are probably about as old, right? “

Matthew said the king was about a year older, which Charles laughed.

Matthew then said he would like to have something to drink and told the king, he likes everything “as long as it is nice”.

Charles joked that he should have brought a whiskey and say: “It should be very good for the heart.”

Charles also asked about his daughters and grandchildren and said that he was “lucky” to be two daughters who alternately replaced.

Matthew said after the visit: “I was enthusiastic. He showed concern.”

Charles later told the king in the retired milk man Philip Barnard, who had lung cancer that there was “great progress in treatment”.

Previously, Charles Jacqueline Page, 85, who lives in Great Barr with her husband Jeff, 82. Her father met the then Prince Charles when he came to Brimingham in 1978.

Charles said: “I hope this does not cause too much interruption.”

Jacqueline said to him: “Nice to meet her. I wish it would be under better circumstances.”

“Charles said to her:” I hope you are being looked after. “

She said, “I have the best attention, I can assure you.”

Jacqueline joked: “I am wearing.”

And Charles joked as an answer: “Well, that’s the terrible one, because I already discover that parts don’t work so well.

He asked Jeff how he was dealing with at home and asked Jacqueline about her treatment.

They told him that they had been married for 40 years.

And Jacuqeline said to him: “I’ve ever met you. Perry Barr Stadium. You came in a helicopter and got out of the helicopter and approached my parents directly.”

He joked: “It was a little luck, wasn’t it?”

She said, “You shaken your hand. I didn’t get a look at it, so I’m so pleased that you are talking to me today.”

Charles said: “It was a wonderful old helicopter that I remember. I flew it earlier. Because I flew her in the Navy. I left the navy in 1976, but I was still able to remember how to fly it. That was the great.” I am so happy that I have to meet you. “

He later met Hernata Yonas, the first baby to be born in the hospital. He asked Mum Semhar Tesfu and Papa Yonas Kflu for the hospital.

Hernata arrived at 8.48 a.m. – just over 90 minutes after the childhood department opened its doors.

Yonas said it was “great” that the king showed interest.

Charles also met Elsie Kudozia (37) and Baby Elyanna, who was born in the hospital on Monday.

When asked how she felt after she had spoken to the king, Elsie said: “I can’t explain it. It’s very nice.”

There was a huge cheer of the crowd when he welcomed her and others who worked in the hospital.

And shortly before Charles unveiled a badge, said ex Nhs boss and chairman of the hospital Sir David Nicholson of the crowd: “Her majesty, guests, colleagues and friends.

“It is an enormous honor to stand in front of you today on this important reason. This is a day of immense proud, not only for those of us who have been part of this project from the start, but for the entire community that has been benefit from world -class for generations.
