Duchess of York Supports Breast Cancer Awareness

Sarah, Duchess of York, has opened up about her dual battle with breast cancer and malignant melanoma, reflecting on her initial fear that these diagnoses could be a 'death sentence'. After a successful mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, she has become the Patron of Prevent Breast Cancer, actively participating in fundraising efforts to secure the future of the National Breast Imaging Academy. Her commitment to this cause was inspired by her own experiences and a heartfelt request from Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor. Sarah emphasized the importance of regular screenings, crediting her sister Jane for encouraging her to attend a critical check-up that ultimately saved her life. Despite her struggles, she remains optimistic about her recovery and aims to promote self-love and awareness for cancer prevention. The Duchess's candid sharing of her journey comes amid a broader health crisis within the Royal Family.
