Kate Middleton hasn’t revealed what type of cancer she’s battling — but a doctor who specializes in this area says he has a good idea what it could be… and how it was found.
Dr. George Crawford — a general surgeon who focuses on bariatric, colon and minimally invasive procedures in the operating room — joined “TMZ Live” on Friday to discuss the Princess of Wales’ announcement… where she said cancer was found during his abdominal surgery.

While Kate didn’t go into detail about the exact type of cancer found — Dr. Crawford tells us that in his professional opinion, it could probably be one of two.
Crawford says that based on Kate’s age and other factors… he speculates that doctors may have discovered ovarian or uterine cancer – that’s his best guess, anyway.

He’s not suggesting he knows her exact diagnosis for certain, but Dr. Crawford says his personal experience leads him to arrive at both of these possibilities – and he even explains how exactly this could have happened while she was under the knife for the scheduled surgery. .
It’s pretty fascinating – Dr. Crawford says it seems likely to him that the medical team found something alarming midway through the procedure and probably did a biopsy at that point. He says that’s usually how this kind of thing happens, and they can get an answer quickly… which can change the course of the entire operation.

He also comments on the fact that Kate says she just I recently started preventative chemotherapy – which Dr. Crawford says makes sense, seeing how much recovery time is needed for an invasive surgery like the one she appears to have undergone… and how hard chemotherapy is on the body.
In fact, Dr. Crawford was aware of this from the beginning…he told us in our documentary about the mystery surrounding Kate that the most realistic scenario was the one that unfolded.
Kate says she needed time to recover – as well as time to sort out this serious issue with her three young children. The upside…she says she’s getting stronger every day, which sounds promising.
We hope the announcement puts an end to all the gossip that’s been swirling around this saga over the past few weeks… because it’s clear she’s dealing with something incredibly urgent.
Of course, best wishes to the Princess.
