PHNOM PENH (AFP) — Cambodia's former king Norodom Sihanouk says he is showing progress in his most recent fight against cancer, according to a royal letter posted on his website.
The 86-year-old, who left for Beijing in July last year to receive medical treatment for other illnesses, said in late December that his Chinese doctors had found a new cancer in his body.
Sihanouk said in a letter dated February 27 that after treatment, "today I went to hospital to have it checked with modern equipment (PET Scan) and saw that this cancer has shrunk."
However he added that he needed to prolong his stay in Beijing for further treatment.
Sihanouk was first diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma, a cancer affecting blood cells crucial to the immune system, in 1993.
The cancer began in his prostate and recurred in 2005 in his stomach.
Sihanouk has suffered from a number of other ailments including diabetes and hypertension.
Despite giving up his role as monarch, Sihanouk remains a prominent figure in Cambodia and often uses messages on his website to weigh in on matters affecting the country.

I wonder who care about his well-being. Many Khmer are starving and live in poverty and he's bragging all about his health and legacy of goodness. What a pathetic man and his useless children. They are curse to our motherland.

10:30 PM, a ton age, t'es trop bavard et personnes ne peut te comprendre. Rien. On a rien a perdre avec les gens comme Sihanouk et toi. Naitre pour finalement mourir. La vie continue. Sihanouk et toi ont commis des crimes specifiquement pour avoir tue 2 millions de Khmer. Allez-y, mourrir. Laissez donc la place aux jeunes. Sihanouk est chanceux pour ne pas etre tombe sur le tribunal...
It is a very good life for the old monarch. He is 86 years old almost 90 and has faced too many challenges.
No matter what these people said, King Sihanouk these people will soon die just like everyone.
86 years old is a very good age.
GOD BLESS THE KING.
I concur with your comments 7:59 AM.
The very weakness and disunity of our people Cambodians have driven us to further downfall.
I don't see nay way out of it, the King was not to blame for the killings by the Viets tactics.
I can see what allowed Viets weakness to become Viets strength was, of course, the lack of unity among us Cambodians.
It made me feel so sick in the stomach to read this insulting toward our old monarch.
It took us back into the past, how the usurpers could murder the warrior Kings. These posters are acting no different than the people in the past.

8:22aM CAN THE KILLING FIELD COME FROM TTOO MUCH UNITY ( TLOOM MOUY) SO PEOPLE AT THE BOTTOME FOREVER VIVTIME?
