Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, Diagnosed with Skin Cancer
Sarah Ferguson has shared that she is in “good spirits” after revealing her battle with an aggressive form of skin cancer. In an Instagram post, the Duchess of York mentioned that she has taken some time for herself at her home in Austria following the diagnosis. This news comes just months after she disclosed her struggle with breast cancer.
She wrote, “Naturally, another cancer diagnosis has been a shock, but I’m in good spirits and grateful for the many messages of love and support.”
The malignant melanoma was discovered during testing of several moles while the Duchess was undergoing reconstructive surgery, as per her dermatologist’s recommendation.
Update on The Princess of Wales
The Princess of Wales has been in the hospital since Tuesday, recovering from a successful abdominal surgery at the London Clinic. Reports suggest she is “doing well,” but she will remain admitted for several more days. She is not expected to resume official duties until after Easter.
As a result, the future Queen will be absent from some events she typically supports, including Children’s Mental Health Week, The BAFTAs, and the Commonwealth Day service.
