It has been diagnosed that Sarah Ferguson has skin cancer a few months after being treated for breast cancer. A mole, which tests later discovered to be a malignant melanoma, the most severe type of skin cancer, was removed from the Duchess of York. This happens after the 64-year-old underwent breast cancer surgery last year, with insiders claiming that it has not been an easy time for her.
Sarah Ferguson, the skin tumor
It is said that several moles were removed from the mother of two during a breast reconstruction surgery last year, one of which turned out to be malignant. The Duchess, ex-wife of Prince Andrew, was described as being in a good mood after the distressing news was communicated to her a few days after Christmas.
A spokesperson for Sarah, Duchess of York, told the Sun: "Following the diagnosis of an early form of breast cancer this summer, Sarah, Duchess of York, has now been diagnosed with a malignant melanoma. Her dermatologist requested that several moles be removed and analyzed while the Duchess was undergoing reconstructive surgery after the mastectomy, and one of these was identified as cancerous".
The diagnoses
"She is undergoing further investigations to ensure that the tumor was detected in the early stages - the spokesman continued - Clearly, another diagnosis so soon after breast cancer treatment was distressing, but the Duchess remains in good spirits. The Duchess wants to thank the entire medical team that supported her, particularly her dermatologist whose vigilance ensured that the disease was diagnosed when it was. She believes that her experience underscores the importance of checking the size, shape, color, texture, and the emergence of new moles that can be a sign of melanoma"
