Kate opens up about her chemotherapy port as she shares experiences with patients The Princess of Wales has shared her experience of her “really tough” chemotherapy, which she revealed was delivered via a “port” to which she became rather attached.
Kate, who is now joint patron of the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust with the Prince of Wales, is not thought to have used a cold cap to preserve her hair.
Kate visited the Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea, west London, to thank staff for her care and offer support to fellow patients as it was disclosed she was treated at the state-of-the-art institution.
Medicine is given using a special needle inserted into the device through the skin, but this is not painful.
“I got so attached to it,” the princess said, joking she had hesitated when finally told “you can have it taken out” now.
