During the visit, she opened up about the shock of her diagnosis, how tough her chemotherapy treatment had been and even how she was fitted with a port in order to deliver her treatment. Hours after her trip to the Royal Marsden, Kate took to social media, where she described her relief at being in remission and said "there is much to look forward to". And an insider told People: "It has been a tough journey - harder than we perhaps thought. She has been through a lot, and it has been a rough road. Serious illness like cancer does change you.

"She has a young family, and it makes you rethink everything - your purpose and what you want to do with your life." They added: "She has drawn a line under the last year, and she can move forward. The word 'remission' is such a positive one to use, and it just feels like a veil has been lifted on their life of the last year, and that they can move forward with positivity and hope.".
