Sharon Stone is opening up about her health.
The Basic Instinct actress revealed that she had been misdiagnosed by doctors and actually had a tumor that needed to be removed.
“Just had another misdiagnosis and incorrect procedure,” she wrote on Twitter Nov. 1. “This time double epidural. With worsening pain went for a SECOND OPINION: I have a large fibroid tumor that must come out.”
Sharon, 64, then urged women not to “get blown off,” but to always get a second doctor’s opinion because “it can save your life.”
“I’ll be down for 4-6 weeks for full recovery,” she concluded. “Thx for your care. It’s all good.”
The Golden Globe winner also tweeted the link to a study titled, “Women More Likely Than Men to Suffer Misdiagnosis, According to Studies,” advising women to read the article.
Sharon was showered with a lot of support from fans who shared a similar experience, including one social media user who tweeted, “My wife went through this several years ago Sharon.
