THE whole country was taken by surprise at the diagnosis the King received from his medical team.

Since then we have been bombarded by the media as to what type of cancer he has and what treatment he will receive - all speculation and supposition by so-called experts otherwise known as newsreaders.

That will be far better for him than listening to people who just want to make headlines for themselves.
