As mentioned before, her spokesperson revealed that the surgery was a success and according to her doctors Fergie’s ‘prognosis is good’. The Duchess of York is now resting at her shared home in Windsor.

It has also been reported that today, Monday, June 26, Fergie will release an episode of her podcast, Tea Talk where she will talk about her breast cancer diagnosis. The episode was pre-recorded, so the Duchess of York isn’t straining herself after such major surgery.

It has not been announced whether or not Fergie will have any follow-up treatment such as radiation or chemotherapy, which may not be needed as it was an ‘early form of breast cancer’.
