KATHY Bates has undergone a double mastectomy.

The 64-year-old actress — who opened up in March about surviving ovarian cancer nine years ago — was diagnosed with breast cancer several weeks ago.

“After much consideration, I underwent a double mastectomy,” she told People magazine.

“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. I’m looking forward to getting back to work doing what I love to do.”

    Wishing you a speedy recovery. I’m still waiting for some station to pick up Harry’s Law – love the show & miss it. You are great in whatever role you are in, but Harriet Korn really suited you.
