Sarah Ferguson Says She’s Doing ‘Fine’ After New Health Diagnosis

In case you didn’t know, a spokesman for Ferguson revealed in a statement (obtained by People) on Sunday that she’s been diagnosed with skin cancer. The duchess recently went to a dermatologist to have some moles removed shortly after undergoing a single mastectomy. And when the test results came back from the exam, they were found to be cancerous. “Following her diagnosis with an early form of breast cancer this summer, Sarah, Duchess of York has now been diagnosed with malignant melanoma,” the rep said. 

“The Duchess wants to thank the entire medical team which has supported her, particularly her dermatologist whose vigilance ensured the illness was detected when it was,” the statement continued. “She 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.”
