I know it's a HIPAA violation, but I should reach out to my friend who works at MD Anderson...

I have no idea if the MD Anderson story is true, but it would explain why she hasn’t been credibly seen In the UK in months. I could also envision a scenario where her cancer is much worse than they’re letting on, and she needs better care than she can receive in the UK. I would imagine as the future queen of England, getting treatment outside of the UK might be a bad look. I don’t know.

MD Anderson is amazing. Truly. But I have no idea why she would have to travel there for care. Any doctor in the world can consult on the case from where they are and the treatment plan could be carried out in the UK for the future queen.

Americans would not play that no photo game the British media does |

Does the UK not have good health care? I'm having a hard time understanding why she'd come here
Unless it's a rare treatment or disease type thing where she needs something new and/or specialized that isn't widespread yet

But the US is known for having some of the best doctors and hospitals in the world. But I also don’t really know what I’m talking about in terms of what Kate ‘s doing. I’m just speculating along with everybody else. |

It just seems kinda odd to come here when she has money/connections for anything in the UK |

That part doesn't surprise me (I'd be surprised if they didn't seek care here, tbh). |

You need the facility/apparatus/team. Money can get you here, it can't necessarily get them there. No amount of money is going to persuade leading docs to leave their other patients for treatments that can last months. Especially if they have trials going, which they all do. Her coming to the US for treatment is fully reasonable and plausible as a concept; I can't speak to whether or not that actually happened. If I were rich AF and it was my loved one, I'd be getting them to MD Anderson or Sloan Kettering. Mayo. Etc. |

The BRF has world class healthcare. But, most of the top ten treatment centers for cancer as in the US. It is totally within the realm of possibility that she has chosen a US cancer center.
That said, our media has no regard for the privacy of the BRF and it would be everywhere if she was at MD.
Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. I am gonna go with 'pic or it didn't happen'.

So if she is here and they are able to keep it a secret that means it’s worse off then they are saying right? Because otherwise they wouldn’t really need to come over here. Which again if she is then it’s weird a “source” leaked the story about her cheering on the kids. |

This is where I ultimately land. Even if 99% of the media here wouldn’t care (which is not going to happen) TMZ has no morals and I feel like they would be on it |

Especially if the MD Anderson thing proves true. Or even lung/liver, which has stigma for smoking and drinking that they would want to avoid. With all this...it's not an "easier" one. |

I am not disagreeing that we have the best cancer care here. But I truly don’t think the most VIP of all patients would have to travel to have access to that. I could be wrong but I think mountains would be moved to avoid that for her situation.

Or even someone who is in a crowd and can get it without her knowing. Sure any picture is going to be looked at closely but it could be done and if anyone can do it American paparazzi can |

I think if she is in Houston, there is now enough mainstream speculation for paps to be staking out the area. If she's there, we'll know soon.
