Sharon Stone says one conversation during a breast cancer scare told her that her marriage was over.
The Basic Instinct and Casino star spoke about the experience on David Begnaud’s podcast The Person Who Believed in Me. Entertainment Weekly reported that Stone said doctors found breast tumors in the early 2000s, including one she described as larger than her entire left breast.
According to Stone, doctors believed the tumors could be cancerous and recommended a bilateral mastectomy because of how serious the situation appeared.
Stone said she believed she did not have cancer, but she also did not want to gamble with her life.
She recalled deciding to move forward after doctors warned her how serious the tumors looked.
