Sarah Ferguson describes 'bomb going off' moment at being diagnosed with two cancers Sarah Ferguson has described being diagnosed with two cancers in around seven months as "like a bomb going off in your life".
The Duchess of York, 65, was first told she had breast cancer and, in January last year, received the crushing news she had malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer.
James Wentworth-Stanley, was the son of Clare Milford Haven, one of Sarah's "oldest and dearest" friends, and he ended his life after he was classed as a low priority at A&E, where he waited a few hours before leaving.
Sarah, known as "Fergie", reflected on her journey in a tell-all interview to the media, approximately one year on following her malignant melanoma bombshell.
A mole removed from her body was sent for tests, which confirmed the Duchess of York had one of the most serious forms of skin cancer.
