  1. > Bates, who also previously had ovarian cancer in 2003, recalled a friend being “concerned” that she’d chosen not to have reconstruction surgery.

    > “I decided not to have reconstruction ‘cause at the age I was, I thought, you know, I really don’t wanna go through that. I just didn’t wanna go through it,” she said.

    > “You know, I wasn’t in a relationship, I was older and I didn’t think I would be in a relationship, and it’s always kind of like, why do I have to?” Bates continued.

    > “This is really weird maybe but I had really heavy breasts. They were like 10 pounds when they removed them. Really big, big breasts and I kind of enjoy not having breasts … it’s strange,” the Titanic star told the podcast.

  2. I didn’t know she was sick. Her body her choice, good for her I say!

  4. It is nice that if she wants to see them again she can watch About Schmidt.

    Happy she’s recovered and happy with her body.

  5. She also reportedly said, “boobies are the devil”. True story my football mate told me so, its his momma.

  6. Her boobs had their swan song in About Schmidt. They can be laid to rest now. All is well.

  7. She’s just running around her mansion, enjoying her new, more aerodynamic frame

  8. Heavy breasts causes some severe back pains and as you age it gets worse

  9. If my balls were removed for cancer, I think I’d be cool with it. Can always take pills

  11. I forgot to say I love her acting career. Anything she plays is amazing. I was very disappointed when the show Disjointed on Netflix only lasted 2 seasons. Also my bff & I were huge fans of Harry’s Law . She’s awesome with or without her boobs .

  13. My friend decided to forego reconstruction too after her double mastectomy. She just didn’t want to deal with it.

    I don’t blame KB here. If I could, I’d go for a reduction and go down to a B cup.

  14. I don’t blame her!!! Tits seem annoying and at her age she doesn’t need them.

  15. I totally agree. I’m done having kids and I would like a breast reduction. I’m a double D and I want a B cup…maybe even A? Get em gone! I don’t need them. My husband doesn’t agree, of course.
