However,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>she revealed that a few weeks ago she received the news of being diagnosed with breast cancer. Describing the experience of receiving this diagnosis, she compared it to being in a room scarier than American Horror Story.In 2003, she received the heartbreaking news of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. From that moment, her difficult journey began. She endured numerous painful surgeries and underwent nine months of chemotherapy. However, she chose to keep her battle a secret, confiding only in PEOPLE magazine.\u201cI didn\u2019t tell anybody. I continued to work right after the operation, doing Little Black Book with Brittany Murphy. My agent at the time was very old-school and didn\u2019t want me to be the poster child for ovarian cancer. I didn\u2019t want anyone to know, but it really took a lot out of me.\u201dDespite her determination, she managed to conquer the situation and become cancer-free until the moment her doctor informed her that she had relapsed. The news left her questioning if she would have to endure the same painful journey of suffering once more.Upon discovering she had breast cancer, she wasn\u2019t shocked since she mentioned, \u201cbreast cancer is common in my family.\u201d She decided to undergo a double mastectomy to stop it from spreading.She made a choice to transform her tragedy into motivation for other women. Despite everything, this courageous woman didn\u2019t lose her lively character. On one occasion, she even made a joke, saying, \u201cI don\u2019t miss my breasts as much as I miss Harry\u2019s Law,\u201d and expressed gratitude to her fans for their unwavering support during her difficult moments.She did her best to replace the plate of sour green tomatoes her life served her with one of Fried Green Tomatoes instead, and we are lucky she did it.\u00a0Kathy Bates is currently free from cancer, but she has lymphedema, a non-curable condition that affects about 30 percent of breast cancer survivors. This condition is caused by the removal of her lymph nodes. Regrettably, she is dealing with discomfort due to pain and swelling.\u201cIt\u2019s a souvenir you definitely don\u2019t want. I really felt that life was over for me. I probably wouldn\u2019t work again, and I was angry for a long time.\u201dBates decided to share her story openly, hoping to encourage other women to undergo regular check-ups and realize they are not alone in their fight. Additionally, she became a representative for the Lymphatic Education &amp; Research Network (LE&amp;RN).I\u2019m thankful that my difficulties have provided me with a sense of purpose. It\u2019s interesting how things work out like that.Here is her interview where she candidly shares her experience of confronting the challenges she has encountered.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Kathy Bates On Learning She Has Lymphedema: \u2018You Think American Horror Story Is Scary?
