(CMR) Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York (63), underwent surgery after being diagnosed with breast cancer following a routine mammogram. She was released from King Edward VII's Hospital in London on Sunday to recuperate at home in Windsor.
The Duchess' surgery was a success, and her prognosis is good, a spokesperson said.
According to AP, the former wife of Prince Andrew and the mother of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie spoke about the diagnosis on her new podcast, “Tea Talks with the Duchess and Sarah,” released Monday.
She took the opportunity to urge people to get checked and to do the necessary screenings.
“I've talked to so many sufferers with cancer, that I can glean from them certain tips that can help me through this moment,” the Duchess said.
“I'm taking this as a real gift to me to change my life, to nurture myself – to stop trying to fix everyone else,” she added.
