A tumor was discovered in Sharon Stone (64) after a previous misdiagnosis. She is now calling on women in particular to always get a second medical opinion.
Among other things, the actress announced on Twitter that she had recently received a misdiagnosis and had been treated incorrectly. However, after her pain got worse, she got a second opinion. A large, benign tumor was diagnosed in her uterus. The 64-year-old needs surgery and will need about four to six weeks to fully recover.
Based on this experience, Sharon Stone urges her followers – and especially women – not to be turned away. “Get a second opinion. It can save your life,” writes Stone. The actress also pointed this out to her around 3.4 million followers in her Instagram Stories.
In her 2021 autobiography The Beauty of Living Twice, Stone wrote that in 2001 she had benign tumors, one of which was “huge”, that had to be removed from her breasts. In the same year she had a stroke and, as a result, a cerebral hemorrhage, which she also writes about in her book. “I felt like I’d been shot in the head,” Stone recalled in an interview with Britain’s The Sun in 2020.
