Sarah Ferguson jokes that she’s ‘proud’ of how her breasts look after her mastectomy and reconstruction and says: ‘I kind of like them’

Sarah Ferguson joked about how much she loves her breasts after her mastectomy as she gestured to them on GMB this morning, before laughing and checking if that was okay to say on TV.

Today on Great Morning Britain, Sarah discussed her cancer diagnosis after undergoing a single mastectomy and reconstruction of her left breast.

The Duchess of York later joked to presenters Susanna Reid and Ed Balls that she “likes them” as she gestured to her breasts and stuck her chest out.

'Is that good?' asked Sarah, 63, and burst out laughing. Susanna replied, 'Yes? Well, you look fantastic. Yes, absolutely, it's okay,” while a grinning Ed added: “It's very okay.”

Sarah apologized for being 'bold' and also shared that she has since named her left breast 'Derek'. She said, “I'm sorry to be so bold, if I may say so, but this is Derek, and it could be Dereka, or it could be them.”

Sarah underwent the grueling eight-hour operation at King Edward VII's Hospital in London in June after being diagnosed with the disease.

Speaking on GMB, Sarah talked about the moment she was able to tell doctors had found something during her mammogram.

“I saw them moving very quickly,” she said. 'They said, 'Well, we'll just do one more' and then 'Oh, we'll just do this' and I said, 'No no, but you didn't find anything, did you? No, I'm fine, aren't I? “.'

“It was like a splash. It was as if someone had gone like that (makes a splashing gesture) and it was better to have it removed.”

Sarah started to grin, before looking down at her breasts and saying, “And I don't know, I kind of like them.” Then she puffed out her chest proudly.

She also said it was important for her to name her left breast after the surgery.

She said: 'I'm really proud of it. I feel like my mastectomy is a badge of honor.”

Sarah's cancer journey began in the spring when a routine pre-coronation test first revealed something was seriously wrong.

In early May, Sarah went to an appointment in London for a mammogram. Instead of the technician getting the all-clear as expected, he explained that a “shadow” could be seen in the chest.

Given the size of the area, a lumpectomy was ruled out and Sarah was strongly advised to proceed with a single mastectomy, which would eradicate the shadow of cancer cells over the breast.

Sarah was said to be devastated but was determined to go ahead with a mastectomy as soon as possible, telling friends she had 'no choice' but to go ahead with the operation.

But since the operation, Sarah has radiated positivity and encouraged others to get checked out, especially if they are scared.

This morning she said, “For anyone who's thinking 'I can't possibly do it' because they might find something, the sooner they find something and remove it, and if they have to remove it like a lumpectomy or a mastectomy or whatever they have to do, it It's okay that you have this.

“And it's okay to cry. It's okay to be afraid. It's okay to say, 'I'm really terrified,' but together we can be strong to get through it.”

Sarah also said that she now feels more able to be herself.

“This hasn't given me that kind of moment of, 'Oh, I'm so lucky now that I'm going to give,' I've always been like that,” she said.

'But it allows me to be myself. I kind of feel like I'm talking to you myself.'
