Duchess of York shares her personal experience

Early detection saves lives

Don't skip your screening
Ferguson is now actively involved in launching the Don't Skip Your Screening breast cancer campaign. She emphasized the need for women to prioritize their health and not ignore any warning signs. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the importance of regular mammograms for early detection.
Every shadow matters
Ferguson revealed that her cancer did not present as a lump but as a shadow. She described it as a "splat" and stressed the importance of taking any abnormalities seriously. She considers herself fortunate that the cancer did not spread to her lymph nodes.
Empowering women through her journey
During her appearance on Loose Women, Ferguson was presented with her own personalized mug from the show. She expressed her delight at becoming an official part of the Loose Women panel and shared her appreciation for the support she has received.
By sharing her story and advocating for regular mammograms, Sarah Ferguson hopes to inspire women to prioritize their health and take proactive steps for early detection of breast cancer.
