The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson has been diagnosed with skin cancer less than a year after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis. This weekend, a spokesperson for the Duchess confirmed that she had undergone mole removal surgery after it was recognised as a malignant melanoma.
The statement explained: "Following her diagnosis with an early form of breast cancer this summer, Sarah, Duchess of York, has now been diagnosed with malignant melanoma. Her dermatologist asked that several moles were removed and analysed at the same time as the duchess was undergoing reconstructive surgery following her mastectomy, and one of these has been identified as cancerous."
