Princess Kate gave an update on her cancer treatment.

Kate (Catherine), Princess of Wales, gave an update on her cancer treatment via X (formerly known as Twitter). She mentioned that her cancer treatment is ongoing and will continue for “a few more months.”

“I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days,” she said on the social media platform. “On those bad days, you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.”

The princess, who was born Kate Middleton, announced in March that she was diagnosed with cancer. She has not revealed what kind of cancer she has.

“I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet,” she said in the X post.

Kevin Jonas had surgery to remove skin cancer.

Singer Kevin Jonas announced on an Instagram video that he had skin cancer removed from a spot on his head.

The 36-year-old said in the video, “So today I am getting a basal cell carcinoma removed from my head. Yes, that is an actually little skin cancer guy that started to grow, and now I have to get surgery to remove it.”

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. The disease is slow-growing and mostly curable when caught and treated early.

Jonas’ video then cut to him in a car saying that the procedure is finished and he is heading home. He ended by urging viewers to get their moles checked by health care professionals. “Make sure to get those moles checked, people!”

Linda Perry revealed having breast cancer and double mastectomy.

Singer and songwriter Linda Perry from 4 Non Blondes recently opened up about her experience and treatment for breast cancer after initially keeping the diagnosis a secret.

In 2021, Perry received a diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy, she told PEOPLE.

While preparing for an elective breast reduction surgery, it was revealed that she had breast cancer, she explained in her new documentary, “Linda Perry: Let It Die Here.” She stated that if she hadn’t gone for the elective breast reduction surgery, she “would’ve never found” the breast cancer. If she began to feel unwell, Perry explained, she would have attributed it to the stress from caring for her mother who was ill.

“My doctor basically said the cancer that I had was the kind that she finds in people where they have six months to maybe two years to live,” she said to PEOPLE. “And I would’ve never found it, and I would’ve never done anything about it when I started feeling off, because I would’ve thought it was because of my mom and the stressful situation I was under.”

The caption of the post read, “Brennan has been pulling double duty, prepping for a movie [and] coming to see me daily, making the best of a makeshift office in my hospital room as I nap,” according to heavy.com.

In a post on his Instagram account three weeks ago, Elliott — who is known for his portrayals on “Strong Medicine,” “The 4400,” “Cedar Cove” and “UnREAL” — shared a photo of himself and Row before attending a fundraising event for City of Hope. “Moving the needle one millimeter at a time requires a collaborative effort and I am so honored to be a part of this impressive bunch.”
