Sarah Ferguson in ‘good spirits’ after melanoma diagnosis

Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York, has thanked her dermatologist and supporters following her second cancer diagnosis in less than a year. In an Instagram post, the 64-year-old said being diagnosed with malignant melanoma was a “shock”, but she was in “good spirits”. The Duchess highlighted the importance of regular skin checks for melanomas. “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,” Ms Ferguson said. “I am resting with family at home now, feeling blessed to have their love and support.”
