Singer Anastacia has revealed that she underwent double mastectomy following a battle with breast cancer. The singer gave an update on her condition in a statement released on October 1, reported Aceshowbiz. “In light of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to take the opportunity to support a cause particularly close to my heart. I was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time earlier this year and am currently in the final stages of recovery after undergoing a double mastectomy. It has been an intense journey but I am feeling great and ready to start the next chapter. Breast Cancer Awareness Month gives all who are facing this disease a chance to gain strength and support from each other. Early detection has saved my life twice. I will continue to battle and lend my voice in any way I can,” the statement read. The 45-year-old singer was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003 and made recovery following surgery and radiotherapy. She was diagnosed with cancer for the second time in February. In April, she cancelled her tour to focus on health.
