Re: ROYALS: Sarah Duchess of York Has Skin Cancer Just Mths After Breast Cancer Treat
Sarah Ferguson Diagnosed With Skin Cancer Just Months After Breast Cancer Treatment
Sarah Ferguson, 64, is diagnosed with malignant melanoma just months after being treated for breast cancer - as those close to the Duchess of York reveal 'it's not been an easy time' but she 'remains in good spirits'
Daily Mail 22 JAN 2024
Sarah Ferguson has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of skin cancer, just months after undergoing surgery for breast cancer.
The Duchess of York was given the news after dermatologists removed several moles during treatment for her last cancer last year. One of the moles was found to be a malignant melanoma, which is a type of skin cancer than can spread to other parts of the body.
The Duchess of York has had a mole removed from her body which tests have since found to be a malignant melanoma which is the most serious type of skin cancer.
It comes after the 64-year-old underwent a breast operation for cancer last year, with insiders saying it has 'not been an easy time' for her.
The mother-of-two had a number of moles removed while undergoing breast reconstruction surgery last year, one of which was found to be malignant.
The Duchess, who is the ex-wife of Prince Andrew, was described as being in 'good spirits' after the 'distressing' news, which was broken to her just days after Christmas.
The author has spent the last few weeks in Austria recuperating at a luxury clinic after spending some time with the Royal Family at Sandringham over Christmas.
It is hoped that the cancer was found early enough that she won't have any further problems, but will undergo further tests to determine whether it has spread.
A melanoma is a type of skin cancer that can spread to other areas of the body, mainly caused by exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun or sunbeds.
People with paler skin, a large number of moles and family history of skin cancer tend to be more at risk of developing this.
