If you think that famous people in Hollywood are very different from us, stories like this one show that they are just regular people who feel pain and face challenges like everyone else.
In a recent interview with Dr. Phil, Kathy Bates, who has won an Academy Award, talks about her sickness and the challenges she faced without telling anyone.
Suddenly, life presented her with the most challenging role she had ever faced: fighting cancer for the second time.
In 2012, she found the courage to share with US Weekly, "Everyone knows I survived ovarian cancer, it's been nine years now." But not many people are aware that a few weeks ago I found out I have breast cancer. Describing what it's like to be diagnosed with this illness, she says, "You think American Horror Story is frightening? "You should have been there with me in that room."
After she found out she had ovarian cancer in 2003, her difficult journey began. She had many difficult surgeries and nine months of chemotherapy but chose not to tell anyone about it. She said to others:
"I didn't inform anyone." After the surgery, I kept working on the movie Little Black Book with Brittany Murphy. At that time, my representative was very traditional and did not want me to be the face of ovarian cancer. I didn't want anyone to find out, but it was really exhausting for me.
Her determination helped her overcome the situation and be cancer-free until the moment when her doctor informed her that the cancer had returned. She had cancer once more. She thought about whether this would lead to experiencing the same difficult and painful situation once more.
