As Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, continues to battle an unspecified type of cancer, she revealed she's "not out of the woods yet," but "making good progress."

"But as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days," Middleton, 42, wrote on Instagram Friday. "On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well."

The mother of three said she and husband Prince William have been "blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement" since she went public with her cancer diagnosis in March.

She explained she will continue to undergo treatment for several more months and is looking forward to spending the summer with her kids – Prince George, 10; Princess Charlotte, 9; and Prince Louis, 6 – and at a few public engagements while "equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet."

"I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal," wrote Middleton, before ending her post by thanking her supporters.

The update comes five months after Kate underwent major abdominal surgery, prompting a whirlwind of public speculation over her health. At the time, her medical team thought her condition was noncancerous, but further testing showed cancer was present, she said.
