In September,\u00a0the mom of three<\/a>\u00a0thanked those who supported her<\/a> and shared a positive update on her health.<\/p>\n \u201cAs the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment,\u201d she expressed at the time. \u201cThe last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family.\u00a0Life as you know\u00a0it\u00a0can change\u00a0in an instant\u00a0and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and\u00a0road unknown.\u201d<\/p>\n The Princess of Wales watches the match. CameraSport via Getty Images<\/p>\n In January, Middleton\u00a0revealed on Instagram<\/a>, \u201cIt is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAs anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal,\u201d she added. \u201cI am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier this month, Middleton, who is also mom to Prince Louis, 6,<\/a> got candid about post-cancer<\/a> life.<\/p>\n The Princess of Wales waves to the crowd.
