The Duchess of York received her skin cancer diagnosis within six months of undergoing a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery for breast cancer.
Her post continued: “Your hard work and leadership in this field, which comes with its own injustices and inequalities, is incredibly valuable and deserves the utmost appreciation.”
