Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, 63, is 'feeling grateful' and 'lucky to be alive' following her successful eight-hour cancer surgery, resting comfortably at home with the family
It was announced last week that Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, had been diagnosed with breast cancer. And following a long eight-hour single mastectomy surgery the 63 year old now feels "lucky to be alive."
A friend of the Duchess, who is back home now, told The S un: "The surgery took getting on for eight hours and was more involved than people think. Surgeon Christine Choy carried out the single mastectomy while colleague Stuart James reconstructed the breast using fat from Fergie’s stomach during the intricate procedure.
Some breast cancers are too small to see or feel but a mammogram x-rays the breast to look for these often-missed signs. Women aged between 50 and 71 are automatically invited for breast screening every three years. Describing her beautiful grandson for the first time on the second episode of hr Tea Talks podcast, she called Ernest a "seriously beautiful little boy," moving the Duchess to tears.
