Sarah Ferguson diagnosed with aggressive skin cancer just six months after breast op

Sarah Ferguson has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of skin cancer.

Medics have now removed a mole on her body which tested as a malignant melanoma – the most serious form of skin cancer.

Fergie, 64, was hit with this shock health scare just six months after she was treated for breast cancer.

The Duchess of York was today described as “in good spirits” but finding a second cancer diagnosis within six months as “distressing”.

Dermatologists raised the alarm after removing several moles from her body while having reconstructive breast surgery last year.

Tests which came through just days after Christmas revealed a mole was malignant.

The Duchess of York has been recuperating in Austria in the past few weeks.

Insiders said: “It has not been an easy time”.

She will undergo further tests to discover whether the cancer has spread but it is hoped that the mole has been found early.
