Kate described the cancer diagnosis and treatment as "life-changing" for both patients and their loved ones. "You have to find your new normal and that takes time … And it's a roller coaster. It's not smooth, like you expect it to be," she said, according to the outlet. "But the reality is you go through hard times."

Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, met with patients and staff at the RHS Wellness Garden at Colchester Hospital, where she talked about her own experience with cancer. The British princess spoke with patients and staff at the hospital's Oncology Wellness Center about the importance of recovery and receiving guidance and support after treatment.
