After Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles has received a diagnosis for cancer while getting treated for a separate health issue, it has been highlighted just how important it is to get our health checked regularly.
On Monday 5 February, it was revealed that the monarch received the diagnosis for an undisclosed "form of cancer" while in hospital to treat a benign prostate enlargement.
The Palace said in a statement that the King has started a "schedule of regular treatments" and has been advised against undertaking public-facing duties.
His Majesty is "grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention", the statement continued.
Later, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told BBC Radio 5 Live that the King's cancer was "caught early", adding that he hoped the monarch will make a full recovery.
The King's cancer diagnosis comes less than two weeks after it was announced that he would undergo a procedure to treat an enlarged prostate, which was benign.
The Palace acknowledged that the cancer may not have been detected if it wasn't for the recent hospital procedure.
