Treatment\u2019s done, then it\u2019s like, \u2018I can crack on, get back to normal,\u2019 but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,\u201d the princess said.<\/p>\n Chris Jackson and Natasha Archer. Dave Benett\/Getty Images<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you\u2019re not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to,\u201d she expressed. \u201cAnd actually, someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment, I think is really valuable.\u201d<\/p>\n Encouraging those to find their \u201cnew normal,\u201d Middleton added that it \u201ctakes time\u2026and it\u2019s a roller coaster, it\u2019s not smooth, like you expect it to be. But the reality is you go through hard times.\u201d<\/p>\n In March 2024, the mother of three revealed she was\u00a0being\u00a0<\/a>treated\u00a0for an undisclosed type of cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kate Middleton visiting Mull, Scotland.
