Sarah Ferguson revealed her diagnosis of skin cancer in a statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Duchess of York stated that although receiving a second cancer diagnosis in less than a year has surprised her, she is still in good spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fergie wrote on Instagram: “I have been taking some time to myself as I have been diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer, my second cancer diagnosis within a year after I was diagnosed with breast cancer this summer and underwent a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It was thanks to the great vigilance of my dermatologist that the melanoma was detected when it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Naturally another cancer diagnosis has been a shock but I\u2019m in good spirits and grateful for the many messages of love and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I believe my experience underlines the importance of checking the size, shape, colour and texture and emergence of new moles that can be a sign of melanoma and urge anyone who is reading this to be diligent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I am incredibly thankful to the medical teams that have supported me through both of these experiences with cancer and to the MAYRLIFE Clinic for taking gentle care of me in the past weeks, allowing me time for recuperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I am resting with family at home now, feeling blessed to have their love and support.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
