Following the removal of a mole from her body, Sarah Ferguson received the sobering diagnosis of malignant melanoma, the most severe form of skin cancer.
This unfortunate turn of events follows the Duchess's breast cancer operation last year, making it a challenging period for her, as indicated by sources close to her.
A spokesperson for Sarah, Duchess of York, stated, 'After being diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer this summer, Sarah, Duchess of York, now faces malignant melanoma. During her reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy, her dermatologist recommended the removal and analysis of several moles, with one identified as cancerous.'
'Additional investigations are underway to ensure early detection. While another diagnosis so soon after breast cancer treatment has been distressing, the Duchess remains in good spirits.'
'The Duchess expresses gratitude to her entire medical team, with special recognition for her vigilant dermatologist, whose watchfulness ensured the timely detection of the illness. She underscores the importance of monitoring the size, shape, color, and texture, as well as the emergence of new moles, as potential signs of melanoma.'
