Fergie shares sister's life-saving cancer advice as she begs ‘get checked - don’t wait’
As Sarah, Duchess of York bravely revealed that she has recently undergone a single mastectomy operation following a breast cancer diagnosis, she admitted that if it wasn’t for her beloved sister Jane, she’d still be oblivious to the fact that she has the disease.The Duchess, 63, spoke out about her diagnosis on her Podcast Tea Talks With the Duchess and Sarah and explained that Jane Ferguson Luedecke, 65, had forced her to go for her mammogram, after she almost gave her routine appointment a miss.
She said, “It was after a bank holiday…and it was a hot day, I didn’t feel like going to London. It’s easy to put it off.” Sarah continued, “I always normally do what she says because she gets so cranky.
She said, ‘No, go. I need you to go.’” Jane may live on the other side of the world in Australia with her partner Ramin Marzbani, but she and Sarah - who’s currently recovering from her ‘successful’ operation at home in Windsor - have always been exceptionally close.
The girls were raised by their dad Major Ronald Ferguson, after he and their mum Susan Barrantes separated, and they have both spoken publicly about their strong bond.
