What a shock.
I hope the surgery goes well and the King recovers quickly.

crm2317 · May 8, 2010

I wasn't expecting this at all. I hope the King recovers quickly and that the test results are positive

Lola · May 8, 2010

If we speak in medical terms, they are hopefully "negative"

The lesion is very small, this is actually and hopefully speaking for something benign.

RJ TAYLER · May 8, 2010

This is most certainly a shock to me. I just hope this is not the start of a long battle, that HM [and the country] cannot afford [distraction from other problems].

Wisteria · May 8, 2010

Best wishes to the King and Queen and a very rapid recovery for King Juan Carlos.

An Ard Ri · May 8, 2010

Oh this came as quite shocking news,I pray his Majesty has a full recovery & may God Bless Him & his family .

The patology department of the hospital will check if the nodule is cancerous. King Juan Carlos smoke a lot. There is history of cancer in his family. His father, Don Juan de Borbon, died of cancer in the larynx.

frank22 · May 8, 2010

They will not say the truth. We have to wait what will happen in the next months in relation with his health.

I read that the intervention was expected since late April, this has been kept secret to avoid speculation

The pathologists already have analyzed it, and have rejected that is cancerous. Now they are going to realize a deeper analysis, to know which has been the origin of the nodule and to anticipate possible problems in the future.

The King is 72 years old and the normal thing is that the problems of health are increasingly habitual. But he is very controlled, every year does preventive controls and many examinations with the most advanced technologies, which means that any problem will have an early detection.

Maria Oliva, if the King is incapacitated the Prince can assume the regency, but in this occasion the House of the King and the Government believed it was not necessary. The Prime minister, the President of the Congress and the leader the political opposition were informed days before the surgery. The Prince is in an official trip in Costa Rica and he will follow the foreseen program.

Melibea · May 8, 2010

I hope that the king will be ok :sad:

What I found strange is that the press has not said anything about Letizia and that if the operation was programmed for today the infantas and the prince had other events for today; and I hope that I. Cristina can come to Barcelona as right now the airports are closed.

The Associated Press: Spain's king undergoes lung surgery
King Juan Carlos has benign tumour removed from his correct lung

As usual, they will only admit what they cannot deny (the fact that the King went for health treatment outside Zarzuela). The Kings' health is a sensitive topic, espcially in these turbulent times for Spain. He's becoming an old man and there will already have been some bits and pieces the public will never know.

Get well soon, JC. Hard to imagine the SRF without you.

The King does his medical reviews in Barcelona for many years, there he has his doctors of confidence. The surgeon, who is one of the best experts in thoracic surgery of Spain, prefered to do it in the hospital and with the equipment with the one he normally works that it is in Barcelona.

Maybe they smile, because if they wouldn´t, the press would immediately write that the king is seriously ill...

The King has gone out good of the surgery, recovers well and the most important thing, the tumor was not malignant. Probably last two weeks have been tense enough for all of them, and now they can relax.

In addition, it is their obligation to transmit serenity and tranquility to the country. A Royal Family also has to be able to confront these circumstances.

Lets hope His Majesty has a speedy recovery & that the Royal Family are able to relax after a very stressful few weeks.
