We are learning new details surrounding the cause of death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
According to the New York Post, an upcoming book titled, “Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait,” (by Gyles Brandreth) reveals that the late Queen had been diagnosed with bone marrow cancer in the final years before her death.
The book details that in the months before her passing, though her death certificate officially cites her cause of death as "old age," staff and those close to her suspected she was having issues with her health.
According to the Daily Mail, Brandreth wrote, “I had heard that the Queen had a form of myeloma — bone marrow cancer — which would explain her tiredness and weight loss and those ‘mobility issues’ we were often told about during the last year or so of her life,”
The Daily Mail also reports he wrote, “The most common symptom of myeloma is bone pain, especially in the pelvis and lower back, and multiple myeloma is a disease that often affects the elderly... Currently, there is no known cure, but treatment — including medicines to help regulate the immune system and drugs that help prevent the weakening of the bones — can reduce the severity of its symptoms and extend the patient’s survival by months or two to three years.”
