After a double mastectomy following a breast cancer diagnosis, on June 4, the 43-year-old opened up about the shock of getting reconstructive surgery. “All I care about is that I’m alive and I’m here for my baby,” she said. “But putting that to the side, I’m like, one day people will forget, or not know, that I had cancer, but they’ll look at me and go, ‘Oh, what a bad boob job!’”
