Kathy Bates recovering after double mastectomy

Actress Kathy Bates is recovering after a double mastectomy operation following a breast cancer diagnosis.

Actress Kathy Bates is recovering after a double mastectomy operation following a breast cancer diagnosis.

“After much consideration, I underwent a double mastectomy,” she told People magazine. “Luckily, I don’t have to undergo radiation or chemo. My family calls me Kat because I always land on my feet and thankfully this is no exception.”

She also took to Twitter on Wednesday to share the news:

Hey All, sorry for the long silence. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 months ago & am recovering from a double mastectomy.

I don’t miss my breasts as much as I miss Harry’s Law. 😉 Thanks for all the sweet tweets. Y’all kept me going.

Unfortunately, cancer is something Bates has faced before. She was diagnosed, and beat, ovarian cancer just nine years ago, but only shared the news publicly in March.

  1. Such an amazing actress who definitely doesn’t deserve a cancer, let alone a relapse. Maybe she can play the sympothy card and get NBC (or another network) to bring Harry’s Law back from the dead! Brilliant show and she deserves to be on our TV’s every week.
