“This is really weird, maybe, but I had really heavy breasts. They were like 10 pounds when they removed them,” Kathy Bates said on a podcast.
Kathy Bates, 76, is speaking out about the reason she chose to forgo reconstruction surgery after getting a double mastectomy in 2012 due to breast cancer.
On Tuesday’s episode of the “Messy with Christina Applegate & Jamie-Lynn Sigler” podcast, Bates spoke about how a friend of hers was “concerned” when she decided against getting breast reconstruction surgery.
“I decided not to have reconstruction because, at the age I was, I thought, you know, I really don’t want to go through that”, Bates told podcast hosts Christina Applegate and Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
The “Titanic” actor said that she didn’t see a point in getting reconstructive surgery back then.
“You know, I wasn’t in a relationship, I was older, and I didn’t think I would be in a relationship, and it’s always kind of like, why do I have to?” Bates said.
