Princess Kate speaks of "roller coaster" cancer recovery

Catherine, Princess of Wales, said Wednesday during a visit to a cancer support center that recovering from the disease was akin to riding "a rollercoaster" as she spoke of going through "hard times" during her recovery journey.

Kate, as she is widely called, is married to heir-to-the-throne Prince William and revealed she had been diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer in March last year. She did not say what kind of cancer it was or share additional details about her diagnosis at the time. 

After undergoing a course of "preventative chemotherapy", in January she said she was in remission. She made the announcement less than six months after she announced her cancer diagnosis, and said she would remain focused on making a full recovery and only return to a "light program" of public events and engagements. Princess Kate has been gradually returning to public royal duties, and about 10 months after announcing her diagnosis announced her cancer is in remission.
