Kathy Bates: A Brave Warrior Fighting

Stories of Hollywood celebrities facing health struggles remind us that they are just like us. In a recent interview on the Dr. Phil show, Academy Award-winning actress Kathy Bates opened up about her battle with cancer and the challenges she faced in silence. Despite her fame, Bates found herself playing the role of a courageous fighter in a real-life drama, fighting cancer not just once, but twice.

In 2012, she revealed that she had successfully overcome ovarian cancer and had been cancer-free for nine years. However, just a few weeks ago, she received the devastating news of being diagnosed with breast cancer. Describing the moment she received this life-altering diagnosis, she compared it to being in a room scarier than an American Horror Story.

Bates had already endured a difficult journey with ovarian cancer in 2003. She underwent painful surgeries and nine months of chemotherapy, all while keeping her battle a secret. She confided in only a few, including PEOPLE magazine, saying, “I didn’t want anyone to know, but it really took a lot out of me.”

Her determination and strength allowed her to conquer ovarian cancer and remain cancer-free for many years. However, her battle wasn’t over when her doctor informed her that cancer had returned, this time in her breast. Despite this setback, Bates wasn’t entirely surprised, stating that breast cancer is prevalent in her family.
