Back in September, we learned that Kate Middleton had completed chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer earlier in the year.
And last week, Kate paid an emotional visit to the hospital where she had received her treatment.
She met with doctors and patients, including a woman named Katherine Field, who was undergoing chemo and wearing a device known as a cold cap at the time.
A Tale of Two Kates
Field recently opened up to People magazine about her surprise visit from the Princess of Wales.
And it seems that speaking with Kate was just like speaking with any other survivor.
“It was just like talking to a friend about a really horrible time in life and how you find ways of getting through it. ‘Finding the new normal’ is what she said, which is absolutely true,” Field said.
She added that Kate spoke with her about her cold cap, a device designed to help minimize hair loss in chemo patients.
“I hate it, but I think it is working. Today there is a little bit of hair coming out, but I’m just trying to delay it,” Field recalled telling the princess.
Field went on to reveal that Kate did not use a cap herself, as she was apparently unconcerned about the prospect of losing her hair.
