Less than a year after Sarah Ferguson was diagnosed with breast cancer, the podcaster was also diagnosed with melanoma. Ferguson has never been the type of celeb to hide her cancer diagnosis; in January, her spokesperson confirmed the health issue to People, sharing, “Following her diagnosis with an early form of breast cancer this summer, Sarah, Duchess of York has now been diagnosed with malignant melanoma.” Her team revealed the Duchess of York had several moles removed amid her breast reconstruction surgery, and after analysis, one of these moles was deemed cancerous. This diagnosis came at a truly unfortunate time, but Ferguson used her health situation as an opportunity to shed light on melanoma. Her spokesperson shared, “She [Ferguson] believes her experience underlines the importance of checking the size, shape, color and texture and emergence of new moles that can be a sign of melanoma.”
Just a day after her melanoma diagnosis was revealed Ferguson shared a post on Instagram addressing her health issue. She shared that she had been “taking time” for herself after having her second cancer diagnosis in less than a year. She said, “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 Duchess of York thanked her medical team for their constant care before revealing she was resting with her family in the comfort of her home.
