For the second time, Kathy Bates is battling cancer.

The actress, 64, claims she was diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks ago and had a double mastectomy. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer nine years ago and survived.

Following her latest operation, Bates, 64, the Oscar-winning star of the 1990 thriller “Misery,” told People magazine that physicians had given her a good prognosis.

“After much consideration, I underwent a double mastectomy,” Bates said in a statement to the celebrity magazine website.

“Luckily, I don’t have to undergo radiation or chemo. My family call me Kat because I always land on my feet and thankfully this is no exception.”

“My doctors have assured me I’m going to be around for a long time,” she stated. “I’m looking forward to getting back to work doing what I love to do.”

Bates first revealed her struggle with ovarian cancer in 2009, claiming that she decided to keep it hidden at the time for personal reasons. She did, however, express respect for celebrities who publicly discuss cancer and continue to make public appearances after their hair had gone out as a result of treatment.

Bates is set to attend the Primetime Emmy Awards on September 23, for which she is up for two awards. For her role as Charlie Harper’s ghost on Two and a Half Men, Bates is nominated for lead actress in a drama and outstanding guest actress in a comedy.

Bates, who earned an Academy Award for best actress for her role in the 1990 film “Misery,” is also set to play alongside James Earl Jones in the next film “Starbright.”

She won awards for her parts in “About Schmidt” and “Primary Colors.”

Christina Applegate, Cynthia Nixon, Sheryl Crow, Edie Falco, Melissa Etheridge, and Kylie Minogue are all breast cancer survivors.
