"One diagnosis is enough to deal with, but I had two in the space of a year," the Duchess of York said Sarah Ferguson is recalling the shock of navigating two cancer diagnoses within one year after the challenging chapter.

Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, admitted her "mind went to some dark places" after she was diagnosed with breast cancer and skin cancer in the space of approximately seven months

Ferguson announced in June 2023 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer following a routine mammogram. She later underwent a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. Just six months later, in January 2024, the duchess announced she was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a type of skin cancer.

Sarah Ferguson has revealed that having cancer was like a "bomb going off" in her life during a recent interview with The Times. The duchess, 65, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 and underwent a single mastectomy.
