« 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.
