Sarah Ferguson opens up about her cancer and gives resounding advice: “It makes the difference between life and death”

Sarah Ferguson (64) is not going through its best moment. The prince's ex-wife Andrew of York (64) was diagnosed with breast cancer last summer and, after undergoing surgery, now suffers from skin cancer. Thus, has highlighted the importance of undergoing health checkupsbecause they can make “the difference between life and death.”

In the Week of Action for Cancer Prevention 2024, which is celebrated in the United Kingdom between February 19 and 25, the former daughter-in-law of Elizabeth II explained in an Instagram post that feels obliged to raise awareness about this disease.

“I would like to ask you all to complete your health checks. “I am determined to do everything I can to help raise awareness by sharing my experience,” she said, recalling that she was diagnosed last year with “breast cancer and melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer.”

“This year, and if it had not been for the diligence and care of my doctorsmy situation could have been much worse,” he acknowledged, thanking that, despite the busy schedule of recent months, he learned the reality of his state of health in time.

“I postponed my routine mammogram, but my sister convinced me to go”. “After undergoing a mastectomy and reconstruction, I could only hope to be safe, so a new diagnosis of skin cancer was a shock,” added the mother of princesses Beatrice (35) and Eugenie of York (33).

These words come at a delicate time for the British royal family, which is monitoring the health of Charles III and Kate Middleton. While a certain secrecy is maintained regarding his situation, the monarch attended a traditional mass last Sunday at the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, in Sandringham, with Camilla. Prince William's wife is at home recovering from a long period in hospital.
