Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I may have missed it, but it doesn't seem like they said the type of cancer. Not a great sign.

It says she expects to make a full recovery.

In the video she says that she underwent abdominal surgery and at the time they thought it wasn't cancerous, but subsequent tests showed that it was. And they she was recommended to have preventative chemo.

Sounds to me like they removed an abdominal tumour, it was probably successfully removed, and now she's getting chemo just in case there's any spreading or any they missed.

Yeah saw that- there's just a lot of tumors that can appear in the abdomen

Haha yes, there are a lot of organs hiding out there.

I don't know, I just don't think she's comfortable with fighting this battle in public. Considering how wild some conspiracy theories were getting, this info was probably just released to shut people up.

The news article/statement I read has it related to major abdominal surgery from back in January. So none of the good kinds. Not that any cancer is good.
