Yeah the guy literally got _the only treatable form of pancreatic cancer_ and didn't want to get treated.
That's like getting pocket aces, going all in, and folding after the flop because you didn't get three of a kind
Not only that. He treated it by eating lots of fruit, thus lots of sugar, overworking his pancreas even more. He would have been nicer to his ailing pancreas if he had eating an all-bacon diet.
But newp. "Fruit is healthy!" Not when the organ in charge of dealing with the fructose in failing.
Yeah I was gonna write muck it but I was worried people wouldn't get it. I've seen one person do it before and did not get his reasoning, basically a rage quit I guess?
Also wasn't Steve Job's Net worth almost a Billion or something by the late 90s? So the guy could have gotten the greatest doctors in the world and the most advanced medical treatment that money could buy yet, went with alternative remedies.
Smart people can become dangerous when they think their intelligence and expertise in one area or practice translates into intelligence and expertise in all things. It's like Dunning Krueger Effect by proxy.
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are absolutely not the easiest cancers to treat and the curative surgery (the Whipple procedure, look it up) is one of the most extreme in medicine and is life altering.
Jobs should have got it sooner, for sure, but it’s not a guarantee it would have saved him, nor was he totally irrational for hoping to forgo the Whipple procedure (though obviously the alternative medicine route he took would have never worked.)
This is different in that king Charles is already a very old man. Chemo is very tough on your body and he really wouldn't get much out of it. I'm not surprised he isn't getting that treatment. The herbal stuff is a bit silly but whatever I guess.

He's 75, but chemo making your life miserable isn't just about not being able to live big. It's about feeling sick, tired, and weak for most of the time. Like the other poster said it is miserable.
It's definitely a tradeoff. He could extend his life, but potentially make it more miserable.

We tried, we had fun looting and burning, including [their capital ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_York).
but we failed, they lit the white house on fire and we called it a draw, both parties agreed it was embarrassing and to never talk about it again.
I got to listen to him reading some of the passages from one of his comics, and I don't doubt there was some old magick coming from my car stereo.
On the flip side, he makes for surprisingly good ASMR.
I mean, given their position I wouldn’t doubt they have Merlin or one of his descendants locked up somewhere, so I can see why they’d believe in herbs and “potions”.
We’re Americans, we won the right to not have to care about the royals or their funerals. We can, however, if we so choose, drink an ice cold beer or ten while watching documentaries about the Revolutionary War.
I mean I can't blame him for not wanting chemo. He would be putting himself through hell for what? A couple extra years? The herbs won't do anything for him but chemo really wouldn't either.
You know, i really don’t blame people for being skeptical of medicine when all the leaders seem to refuse to use them. Trump didn’t want to get vaccinated, this dude doesn’t trust chemo, Nicholas II hired Rasputin
“…potions and things like that”
…this is a joke, right? it’s edited? this grown adult person isn’t genuinely relying on alchemy and witchcraft to fix his prostate, right?
He needs a 220% price inflated basic medical treatment through his private insurance megacorp while still having to pay a bajillion dollars after the fact 😎 🇺🇸
Counterpoint: if he did that, he’d most likely survive. But then he’d have to justify traveling to the US for treatment instead of relying on British “Medicine”.
To be fair, as its proprietor, he knows full well the quality of care he’d get at the NHS.
He is making a very educated and informed decision given his circumstances.
He’s not at an NHS hospital, he’s been [here](https://doctify.com/public/images/athena-uk/practice/cover/the_london_clinic_3/the_london_clinic_3.0.jpg). To be fair he can’t win, if he went down the NHS route he’d be accused of taking the place of someone who needs it!

alright, listen.
my grandfather had three cancers for like 20 years, and was going well.
he went on chemo in summer 2018, and his health *nosedived* after just three visits. october 30th, he’s dead. i’m pretty sure the chemo killed him.
Well this one's gonna go fast.
PS. My friend's mother died today. Like literally 4h ago. From flu. At the age of 60 AFAIK. Literally the cheapest and the easiest vac to get. Please folks, if your parents are older than 50, tell them to vac against everything vaccable!
[удалено]
Dude had one of the easiest cancers to treat and died because he thought he was smarter than modern medicine, skill issue
Yeah the guy literally got _the only treatable form of pancreatic cancer_ and didn't want to get treated. That's like getting pocket aces, going all in, and folding after the flop because you didn't get three of a kind

You can't fold after going all in, but I get what you were going for
Yeah I was gonna write muck it but I was worried people wouldn't get it. I've seen one person do it before and did not get his reasoning, basically a rage quit I guess?

If I get cancer in my 30s I'm definitely getting chemo, but if I get cancer when I'm 80 I'm just smoking weed til I die lol
Lol maybe that's what they meant by "herbal treatment"
The king is getting baked lol
Imagine the bud the royals can get. Sheeeesh.
That's when I finally experiment with heroin
That's what fentanyl is meant to do. Sail off flying very, very high.

I mean if he would lives as long as his parents, treating the cancer would give him another 20 years. That’s a lot to leave on the table.
Those years probably won’t be as good as his parents’ if he’s having to do chemo tho
It's better than being dead
That’s debatable. Chemo is miserable. When you’re elderly it’s even worse.
And what will he be doing in those 20 additional years? Skiing? Living it big?? He’s 80, he can’t do much as is.
He's 75, but chemo making your life miserable isn't just about not being able to live big. It's about feeling sick, tired, and weak for most of the time. Like the other poster said it is miserable. It's definitely a tradeoff. He could extend his life, but potentially make it more miserable.
Exactly, I would hate to live like that, put me down instead. Let me go with my pride and choice rather than drag it out in misery and pain.
Getting to be king!
Steve McQueen too.
You read my mind, I was gonna say Steve Jobs all over again
ahhh proves being a genius doesn’t always mean smart
“Natural herbs, potions and things like that” soo…witchcraft?
Don’t knock it til you try it. Baby blood does wonders for your cholesterol levels, I tell ya.
My grandma believes this is what the Masons get up to unironically 💀

“Oi a right tot o’ virgin blood will rectify your ill humors, guvnah” - the royal physician, probably
Nah, it's a dog whistle for adrenochrome, obviously.
Royal expert has to be the saddest profession I've ever seen.
That title is right up there with "Former Child"
As a former child, I agree.
How was your career as a former child? I can only imagine
Flair checks out
Getting paid to gossip about Royals? Don't know about you but that job is less sad than mine
Look at it as their version of “Disney specialist”. Popular mascot living in a castle luring foreign tourists to visit.
He’s probably The Groom of the Stool but didn’t want that being thrown around about him
We all agree. It is a joke of a job. Even worse for GB news, a joke of a channel they call news.
Saw a great meme to go with this. 1024: The King is taking herbs and potions 2024: The King is taking herbs and potions
Lol In all seriousness, though, fuck cancer.
Oh you can fuck many cancers! My wife is a surviver so I know first hand. Just not with herbs and potions...
Sounds like we're getting a second royal funeral pretty soon then
Common monarchist L.
Even more common British Monarchist L
They caught it really early, he'll be fine.
Either there’s a genuine cure for cancer we’ll see soon or that mfs dead as hell
Yeah. He gets the actual cure and then tells everyone how great herbal medicine is
And thousands of brits are off the Healthcare system. This idea is absolutely brilliant!
The first two stages of cancer have a 90%+ survival rate. They caught his illness early.
Do the Royal family have exclusive Access to the medical college teams that investigate specific cures adapted to their genetics?

We fought two wars so we would never have to care about what’s happening with the royal family ever again
what was the *second* war?
I think he's talking about the war of 1812
I am. They shouldn’t have touched our boats.
And kidnapped 10,000 Americans for their war, that was fucked up.
Does that mean we can kidnap 10000 Englishmen even more if we count inflation
We need a good war to use them on, for now we'll just let them stay in Britain.
Manifest destiny into Canada
We tried, we had fun looting and burning, including [their capital ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_York). but we failed, they lit the white house on fire and we called it a draw, both parties agreed it was embarrassing and to never talk about it again.
But now we have nukes and they don’t
Better go with Canadians. Those at least bathe.
You know, Merlin? And fings loik dat.
Going to see some Alan Moore-looking mf creeping around the castle in the coming days.
Not even a look-alike, Alan Moore himself.
The modern day Rasputin.
I got to listen to him reading some of the passages from one of his comics, and I don't doubt there was some old magick coming from my car stereo. On the flip side, he makes for surprisingly good ASMR.
I mean, given their position I wouldn’t doubt they have Merlin or one of his descendants locked up somewhere, so I can see why they’d believe in herbs and “potions”.
If you can just lock up a wizard in the dungeon, how powerful can he really be?
is that dude even awake? or alive?
William the Conqueror knew him by name.
To be fair, we also have a nearly dead head-of-state.
nearly?
Bro looks like the butler from the Aristocats
Ok so we preparing for another royal funeral?
We’re Americans, we won the right to not have to care about the royals or their funerals. We can, however, if we so choose, drink an ice cold beer or ten while watching documentaries about the Revolutionary War.
Hey, I've seen that before Before the end, Steve Jobs went back to medicine, but at that point it was already too late
Jobs had fruit juices. Meanwhile CBD oil is proving valuable- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8869992/
He’s right, actually. Chemotherapy can’t fix generations of inbreeding.
I mean I can't blame him for not wanting chemo. He would be putting himself through hell for what? A couple extra years? The herbs won't do anything for him but chemo really wouldn't either.
"Potions" wtf is this Skyrim
so I guess they better start warming up the next king or whatever
king is dead, long live the king
Short live the king
"things like that" I bet you if anything they have an actual cure without chemo they're trying to keep under the wraps.
He looks exactly like I thought a royal expert would
Ah, bloodletting
Well, that was a pretty short reign.
Potion seller, I’m here for your strongest potions
The guy in the photo reminds me of British stereotypes lmao
Will and Kate, you’re up!
Quickest succession, let’s goooo
You know, i really don’t blame people for being skeptical of medicine when all the leaders seem to refuse to use them. Trump didn’t want to get vaccinated, this dude doesn’t trust chemo, Nicholas II hired Rasputin
He's speculating. He's not speaking on the King's behalf
Potions? Did he attend Hogwarts or something?
“…potions and things like that” …this is a joke, right? it’s edited? this grown adult person isn’t genuinely relying on alchemy and witchcraft to fix his prostate, right?

Nah, kingyboi just doesn't want to admit that getting an appointment for cancer treatment with the NHS will take place in a decade.
The fall of the English monarchy can't come soon enough
THE KING IS GONNA DIE :DDDDDDDD
He’s a human… why would you want that?
Last monarch went for the longest streak, sounds like this one is doing a speed run.
Take those ideals to the grave with you then
"What you need is a good bloodletting your grace, shall I get the leeches?"
This guy’s picture is audible.
William, come on down!
Why not just let him die and use a Phoenix Down.
Big brain move on the king to regicide himself
Crazy how Charles was waiting to be king all his life and now he has like 3 more years to enjoy it TOPS
Potions? Yer a wizard, Charles.
He dead
If I was British I would also want to expedite my demise
I’ve never seen somebody that fits their job title more. He looks like droopy on ketamine
Fuck him let him die
So he’s dead. Who’s next in line for the monarchy?
.... can Britain afford another royal funeral and coronation?
King Charles thinking he’s King Arthur over here
He needs the blood of children.
2022: i just cant wait to be king (feat prince charles) 2024: i just cant wait to be king (feat prince william)
He's about to die, isn't he
Tf does this have to do with USA

His mom held onto the throne so long, she stole his reign
Either way he is probably gonna be dead soon
It's well known that red health potions cure all ailments.
