Kathy Bates Has a Double Mastectomy

Kathy Bates has had a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

The Misery actress - who previously battled ovarian cancer in 2003 - has undergone surgery to remove her breasts following the detection of the disease, and reveals she will not be having any radiation or chemotherapy.

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

The 64-year-old Oscar winner is now "looking forward" to working again after doctors told her she would recover: "My doctors have assured me I'm going to be around for a long time. I'm looking forward to getting back to work doing what I love."
