Breast cancer is a matter of great significance that we deeply acknowledge and prioritise at the Seniors Discount Club. We know from personal experience how much this disease significantly impacts many individuals and their families, and its effects should not be underestimated.

Recently, our hearts were touched as we learned about the courageous battle faced by none other than a member of the British royal family.

Yes, dear readers, it is none other than Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, who has recently undergone surgery for breast cancer. This news was shocking not only to her but also to the public, as she bravely faced this challenging journey.

At 63, the Duchess of York, the former wife of Prince Andrew and mother to Princesses Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.

This diagnosis came to light after a routine mammogram, serving as a reminder to all of us to remain vigilant with our health check-ups.

Fortunately, there is good news for the Duchess of York. Her surgery was successful, and her prognosis is positive, as confirmed by her spokesperson.

She was even able to leave London's prestigious King Edward VII's Hospital and return to her home in Windsor to recuperate.

As a central figure in the public eye, she wanted to use her platform to discuss her diagnosis, raising awareness and showing courage and vulnerability.

In preparation for her new podcast, Tea Talks with the Duchess and Sarah, which was released yesterday, Monday, 26 June, the Duchess recorded a segment about her recent breast cancer diagnosis prior to her operation.

Although she was once a favourite target of Britain's tabloids, Sarah Ferguson has moved on to more significant accomplishments: she has written her memoirs, several children's books, and even a historical romance novel for adults.

Key Takeaways

• Duchess of York, aged 63, was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer following a routine mammogram.
• The surgery was successful, and The Duchess of York’s prognosis is good, according to the Duchess's spokesperson.
• The Duchess of York, Sarah, the former wife of Prince Andrew and mother of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, spoke about the diagnosis on her new podcast, Tea Talks with the Duchess and Sarah.
• Once a favourite target of Britain's tabloids, Sarah Ferguson has published memoirs, authored children's books and a historical romance for adults.

After hearing this news, we hope our dear readers will take the opportunity to check in on their health and discuss any concerns they may have with their healthcare providers. There is no better time than the present to get a health checkup for ourselves and encourage our friends and our loved ones to do the same.

As a parting thought, let's remember that prevention is better than a cure and that, ladies, you should check your breasts daily! If you need some tips on how you should check your breasts, check out the tips below:

1. Visual Examination: Stand in front of a mirror with your arms by your side. Look for any changes in size, shape, or skin texture. Check for dimpling, puckering, or redness on the breast's surface.
2. Manual Examination: Lie down and place your right arm behind your head. Use the pads of your three middle fingers on your left hand to gently explore your right breast in circular motions, covering the entire area from the collarbone to the bra line. Repeat the process with your left breast.
3. Self-Examination in the Shower: Use soapy hands to glide over your breasts and surrounding areas, feeling for any lumps, thickening, or unusual textures. Ensure you cover the entire breast and armpit region.

Remember that breast changes can occur naturally due to hormonal fluctuations. Still, suppose you notice any persistent changes or abnormalities, such as new lumps, discharge, or changes in breast shape or size. In that case, it is essential to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

We wish the Duchess of York a speedy recovery and hope that by sharing her story, she inspires more people to stay vigilant with their health and screenings.

s diagnosed through a mammogram and was told that I wouldn’t have been able to Feel it. I believe my mum was looking after me as she had passed away 5 years before my diagnosis.

 

[Suzanne rose]

I know a few women who had breast cancer and one of those are one of my closest friends. She was diagnosed 12 years ago . She had found a lump went to her doctor and had a mammogram which came back negative that was July . The lump became sore and painful , went back to her doctor and he said it wouldn't be cancer as they are not painful and the mammogram didn't show anything.

Her daughter was a nurse and arranged for her to see a specialist, that was September, he put her in the next day for a biopsy. When her and hubby went in for the results he said it was advanced breast cancer, she was in surgery 2 days later and had her breast removed .
She then faced weeks of chemo .

If it wasn't for her daughter she wouldn't be here today

She is still cancer free but will be on meds for the rest if her life

Big question is why didn't the mammogram pick it up.

Also a lesson learned if you are not happy with the answer you get from your doctor then don't be afraid to seek another opion .

[Judith1946]

I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer last August aged 76 and there were no outward signs until my nipple altered very quickly over a few days. I have several other health problems and I didn’t expect to live very long. However, I have an amazing oncologist and with the new medications available and a lot of prayer from my family and friends here I am now in total remission. The cancer was in both breasts, every lymph node, my lungs and in my right femur. I urge all woman to get a breast screen. I am so very grateful for the wonderful treatment available here in Australia and to Peter Macs for the compassionate and caring service they provided and continue to do. I thank God for the healing and the new drugs. How blessed we are. I realise that country people face huge challenges and great expense when trying to access treatments for a range of illness. We need to get our members of parliament to be proactive in this area.

Last year my left nipple became inverted and was leaking. My doctor arranged for a mammogram and an MRI that same day, plus an appointment a few days later with my nearest breast and cancer clinic. In the meantime I was given ointment as a topical treatment. Neither tests showed anything, but I kept the clinic appointment, and they organised to see me again in three months. There was no change in my symptoms, but one of the doctors arranged for repeat tests. Again, the mammogram showed nothing, and neither did the RMI initially. However, the young man who performed the RMI said that there was obviously something there because of my symptoms, and he said he would use a more sensitive probe, and it showed up immediately. It turned out to be a papilloma, and benign, but it was removed anyway. The thing is, if that radiographer hadn’t used the more sensitive probe it wouldn’t have shown up. It makes me wonder why they don’t always use the sensitive one!

 

[Penny4]

I had breast cancer 18 yrs ago which was diagnosed early with a routine mammogram and ultrasound. Had a lumpectomy and radiation, but didn't need chemo. Afterwards, I took a preventative tablet daily for 10 yrs.
I still get yearly mammograms, with an ultrasound. Early detection is still the answer for women.

 

[Suzanne rose]

I'm shocked with how many women on here alone have dealt with breast cancer.
I'm glad you all are here to tell your stories.
My prayers and wishes are for you all to remain cancer free.

You are all amazing and brave women

 

[PepeLePew]

A close friend (63yrs) doctors said hers was caused by the fillings in her teeth, she had both breasts removed and chemo to no avail and had never had a mammogram.
Also a cousin who was diagnosed at 40 who had both breasts removed and chemo and was in remission for 10yrs before it came back and progressed to her bones and she passed at 53yrs.
My Aunty was diagnosed on her 97th birthday and she passed 10 days after her 98th birthday. As she had dementia and was in a nursing home they gave her no treatment what so ever. It was just left to run its course.

Sorry to hear about your friend and relatives. I've never heard of teeth fillings causing breast cancer. My cousin had a rare, severe inflammatory breast cancer. She had chemo first to shrink it. She was fortunate she got treated in time, to avoid secondary cancer.
I do hope you get tested regularly, seeing you have relatives inflicted with it. It really does count getting an early diagnosis.

You would have gone through gruelling treatment, that would have been extremely tiring, as they would have given you the works. I know my cousin did too. She's also in remission. Oncologists do their best with their updated extensive knowledge, and when a women's body responds to their treatment, they feel humble and very happy for their patient. There is extensive breast cancer research, that I feel very grateful for Australian women. So pleased for you.

Yes I get tested every 2 yrs without fail and check myself in between. Mammogram testing place claims that female relatives other than a mother or sister, have no bearing on an individuals chance of getting breast cancer. Last time I was there I had to fill out the form on a lap top and now that they have gone digital there isn't even anywhere that you can record the information about a relative. I use to write it in when the forms were paper. When I mentioned it, that is when I was told it was irrelevant and another lady who was waiting even argued the point with them to no avail.

That's so good to hear you get regular tests. It's always good to get peace of mind. I'm sure the person behind the counter said going digital was the way forward lol
I still fill out a paper form where I get mine.
