Sharon Stone's marriage ended over breast cancer scare decision
4 Jun
Summary
- Sharon Stone's husband called her bilateral mastectomy decision 'ridiculous'.
- A doctor defended Stone's decision, stating more women would be alive.
- Stone learned her tumors were benign after surgery.
In the early 2000s, Sharon Stone discovered breast tumors, one notably large, prompting doctors to recommend a bilateral mastectomy due to potential cancer. Stone decided to proceed, viewing it as a necessary precaution.
Her husband reacted by calling the decision "ridiculous" and expressing anger, which Stone perceived as a lack of trust in her judgment during a medical crisis. A doctor present defended Stone, commending her proactive stance.
This confrontation, according to Stone, signified the end of their marriage. She later learned the removed tumors were benign, meaning a double mastectomy was ultimately unnecessary.
Stone has previously recounted another violation after surgery, where a surgeon allegedly gave her larger breast implants without consent.
