I know this personally, and that the journey through and beyond treatment requires more than medicine alone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have an opportunity to reshape what the future of holistic cancer care looks like, enabling more people, nationwide, to access the kind of personalised support that can help make a meaningful difference during and after medical treatment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"block mb-5\" id=\"articleTag\" data-component-name=\"PostArticleLinks\" data-nosnippet=\"\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"post-article-links\">\n<p>TOPICS<\/p>\n<nav class=\"py-2.5 flex gap-2.5 flex-wrap\" data-analytics-id=\"article-tag\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"article-tag\">\n<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"flex-none p-2.5 text-white bg-neutral-950 hover:bg-neutral-500 hover:underline hover:underline-offset-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.womanandhome.com\/tag\/catherine-princess-of-wales\/\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"\/tag\/catherine-princess-of-wales\"><br \/>\nCatherine, Princess of Wales<br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.womanandhome.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catherine, Princess of Wales revealed that she had achieved a personal milestone &#8211; and a royal first &#8211; over the weekend, completing the National Three Peaks challenge to raise money for charity and \u201cas a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis\u201d.
