Basic Instinct star Sharon Stone, 64, will undergo surgery to have ‘large fibroid tumor’ removed

Sharon Stone encouraged her followers to seek second opinions after she said a ‘large fibroid tumor’ was found in her body after a previous medical misdiagnosis.

Stone, 64, took to Instagram Stories Tuesday with a personal message about her health, saying she ‘just had another misdiagnosis and incorrect procedure,’ and went for ‘a double epidural’ to treat pain she was in.

The Oscar nominee said that amid ‘worsening pain,’ she went for a second opinion from a different doctor that revealed she has ‘a large fibroid tumor that must come out.’

The latest: Sharon Stone, 64, took to Instagram to encourage her followers to seek second opinion after a ‘large fibroid tumor’ was found in her body after a previous medical misdiagnosis. She was snapped in LA this past June 

The Specialist star advised to her 3.4 million followers, ‘Ladies in particular: Don’t get blown off. GET A SECOND OPINION. It can save your life.’

Stone said she would be ‘down for 4-6 weeks for full recovery,’ and thanked fans for their care, adding, ‘It’s all good.’

The Sliver actress has past spoken publicly about her health issues, as she said in her 2021 autobiography The Beauty of Living Twice that in 2001, benign tumors were removed from her body that she described as ‘gigantic’ and ‘bigger than my breast alone.’

She said that in the wake of the medical procedure, a plastic surgeon gave her larger breast implants that she had consented to in a breast reconstruction surgery following the removal of the tumors.

Stone also dealt with a stroke and cerebral hemorrhage in 2001, when she was 43-years-old.

Appearing on the Today show in March of 2021, Stone shared details of the critical moments as she was hospitalized and a doctor told her she had nearly died.

‘The room was so silent,’ Stone said. ‘When the room is so silent and no one’s running around trying to fix you, that’s when you realize how near death is and how serious everything is.’

Stone would go on to recover, but she said that the stroke impacted her career and the way she was treated by others.

‘People treated me in a way that was brutally unkind,’ she told Variety in 2019. ‘From other women in my own business to the female judge who handled my custody case, I don’t think anyone grasps how dangerous a stroke is for women and what it takes to recover – it took me about seven years.’

She added: ‘I had to remortgage my house. I lost everything I had. I lost my place in the business. I was like the hottest movie star, you know? It was like Miss Princess Diana and I were so famous – and she died and I had a stroke. And we were forgotten.’
