- Sarah Ferguson is Prince Andrew's wife
- She recently underwent a mastectomy
- THIS is what she did after
Fergie recently had a health scare when she had to undergo a mastectomy to remove cancerous growths on her breast. This is procedure that thousands of women go through every year, and for Fergie, she was able to find some light at the end of the tunnel after such a terrifying situation. Fergie underwent a single successful mastectomy, and she is able to laugh about things now as she explained in an episode of her podcast 'Tea Talks with the Duchess and Sarah'. This is what Fergie had to say:
Sarah Ferguson has never been one to hide
On the latest episode of the show, the Duchess of York revealed what she calls her breasts following her surgery. Fergie, 63, introduced her "new best friend, Derek" while chatting with her cohost Sarah Thomson. "On my left, he’s called Derek...and he’s very important because he saved my life," she said.
Thompson asked why that name...Sarah responded with, "I don't know, it just made me laugh that I have now a friend who’s with me all the time who’s protecting with his shield of armor." She added, "Poor Eric on the right is feeling rather sad because he’s not as perky as Derek on the left, but I’ll get Eric balanced, don’t worry."

Fans online are happy to see that she is able to see the funny side of things. Her story served as a cautionary tale for all women her age. She had previously revealed that it was her sister Jane who prompted her to get the routine screening that detected cancer in the first place.
"It was after bank holiday, and I live in this area — in the Windsor area — and it was a hot day and I didn't feel like going to London. It’s easy to put it off — 'I'll do it next week.' My sister, who's wonderful from Australia, I always normally do what she says because she gets so cranky. She said, 'No — go. I need you to go. I need you to go."
And thank goodness for that!
