Sarah Ferguson diagnosed with skin cancer just months after breast cancer treatment


Sarah, Duchess of York, was diagnosed after several moles were removed during treatment for breast cancer last year

The duchess underwent an eight-hour mastectomy in July last year – but during follow-up surgery last month, dermatologists removed several moles, finding one to be malignant melanoma. The duchess’s father, Major Ronald Ferguson, was diagnosed with skin cancer just months before his death from a heart attack in March 2003. Following her mastectomy at the King Edward VII Hospital in London, the duchess spoke openly about her diagnosis, which followed a routine mammogram screening, and her subsequent treatment.
