Sharon Stone discovers ‘large tumour’ after ‘misdiagnosis’

Actress Sharon Stone has announced she’s facing a new health battle.

The 64-year-old shared a short statement via social media, telling fans that a second opinion can save lives.

“Just had another misdiagnosis and incorrect procedure,” she wrote on an Instagram Story posted on Tuesday (Wednesday AEDT).

“This time double epidural [with] worsening pain. Went for a second opinion: I have a large fibroid tumour that must come out.

“Ladies in particular: Don’t get blown off. Get a second opinion, it can save your life.”

While she didn’t reveal where the tumour was discovered, she did say recovery would take “4-6 weeks”.

The Basic Instinct star revealed she’d had benign tumours removed, saying in her memoir The Beauty of Living Twice released last March, the tumours removed by doctors in 2001 were “gigantic, bigger than my breast alone”.

She also detailed how a plastic surgeon later gave her larger breast implants during breast reconstruction surgery to repair her chest following the removal of the benign tumors.

“When I was unbandaged, I discovered that I had a full cup-size bigger breasts, ones that he said ‘go better with your hip size’,”Stone said in an interview with The Times UK.

“He had changed my body without my knowledge or consent.”

Stone also suffered a stroke and cerebral haemorrhage back in 2001, aged 43.
