Queen Elizabeth II “was battling cancer in the last few months of her life,” says a friend of Prince Philip’s in a new biography titled “Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait.”
The Queen’s official cause of death was declared “old age”, but Giles Brandreth, a friend of the monarch’s husband, claimed that the death was in fact the result of “a rare cancer of the bone marrow”.
According to British newspaper MirrorBrandreth wrote in the paper: “I heard that the Queen had myeloma – a rare cancer of the bone marrow – which explained the fatigue, weight loss and ‘mobility problems’ we were often told about during the last year of her life. your life from the monarch.”
“The most common symptom of myeloma is bone pain, especially in the pelvis and lower back, and this condition often affects older people,” says Brandreth. “Currently, there is no known cure, but treatments that include drugs to help regulate the immune system and drugs to help prevent weakening of the bones can reduce the severity of symptoms and prolong patient survival by a month or two. Three years ago”.
The book also shows that the Queen lost her energy despite telling her audience that she was determined to keep going after Philip’s death last April.
