Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Britain's Prince Andrew, has been diagnosed with skin cancer. The 64-year-old had a surgery for breast tumor a few months before, her spokesman told the media. "Following her diagnosis with an early form of breast cancer this summer, Sarah, Duchess of York has now been diagnosed with malignant melanoma," the spokesman said in a statement.
As per the spokesman, Ferguson had several moles removed and analysed, one of which was cancerous. "She is undergoing further investigations to ensure that this has been caught in the early stages," he added. "Clearly, another diagnosis so soon after treatment for breast cancer has been distressing, but the Duchess remains in good spirits. She believes her experience underlines the importance of checking the size, shape, colour and texture and emergence of new moles that can be a sign of melanoma," said the spokesman.
