King Charles: How is his cancer treatment going three months after diagnosis?

At the time the monarch, 75, said he remained "wholly positive" about his treatment and looked forward to returning to public duties as soon as possible.

How is the King doing now?

It says the King's medical team is "very encouraged" about his continued recovery and that his doctors have been "sufficiently pleased" with progress made so far.

Is he still having treatment?

The Palace says his "treatment programme" will continue and it is too early to say how long that might last.

Some are more intensive - requiring lots of hospital trips - and have more side effects than others. Other ones can be given at home.

Is there a risk the King may be taking on too much?

His medical team will be in close consultation and make sure he gets all the treatment he needs. They won't want any of his duties to hinder that progress and his engagements can be adapted, if necessary.

Cancer, and the treatments given to stop it, can cause extreme tiredness or fatigue. And that can vary throughout the day, with each day being different.

What type of cancer does the King have?

The palace has not disclosed details about the type of cancer the King has but has said it is not prostate cancer.

What is it like to live with cancer?

His may not be the typical story, but he says he is deeply grateful for the kindness and good wishes he has received since going public about it.

There is practical support and information out there for people trying to navigate their way, juggling cancer treatment alongside all the daily responsibilities of life, like paying the bills.

Emotional support is vital too. You may want to talk to someone you know well - a partner or friend - or perhaps someone you do not know so well, like your doctor or a specialist nurse. Some organisations such as Mind and MacMillan can offer this type of support too.
