Kathy Bates, the Academy Award-winning actress, recently shared her battle with an \u201cincurable\u201d condition in an interview with Dr. Phil. She revealed her second encounter with cancer after surviving ovarian cancer.<\/p>\n
Bates disclosed, \u201cIt\u2019s no secret that I am an ovarian cancer survivor, nine years and counting. But few know that several weeks ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer.\u201d She described the emotional impact, saying, \u201cYou think American Horror Story is scary? You should\u2019ve been in that room with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite her earlier ordeal, Bates kept her suffering private, undergoing surgeries and chemotherapy without informing anyone. She recounted, \u201cI didn\u2019t want anyone to know, but it really took a lot out of me.\u201d Currently cancer-free, Bates faces lymphedema, an incurable condition affecting around 30 percent of breast cancer survivors, due to lymph node removal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
