Loose Women fans left moved by Anastacia’s two-word verdict on her cancer battle that involved 16 surgeries.

The pop icon, 56, was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, aged 34, and then again a decade later. 

While chatting to Christine Lampard, Brenda Edwards, Coleen Nolan and Jane Moore, her health came up. 

Anastacia said: ‘When I got it the second time I decided to do the mastectomy, that means it’s all gone.

‘I made a very, very hard choice early and the minute the surgery was complete, I never worried about it again. 

‘I did have 15 more surgeries  after that surgery to get to where I was complete, but who cares?’

She poignantly signed off: ‘I won!’

Brenda then admitted she had one and had a mastectomy after being diagnosed with stage three breast cancer when she found a lump. 

However the singer’s diagnosis was a little different – as she found out she had cancer whilst getting a boob reduction. 

Anastacia, full name Anastacia Lyn Newkirk, said: ‘It was too much I was very self conscious, singing, being on stage and feeling like “look at my voice” and then I was like “here’s my abs… look at those!” Focus somewhere else.

‘Eventually I had the money and I had six weeks off.

‘This is literally my headspace. Let’s get a breast reduction.

‘My friends were like, ‘everybody is getting them bigger… you’re getting them smaller.’ 

‘Look at the way the universe worked. 

‘I found calcifications. It was early enough not to get chemo, but I was young enough that I couldn’t take the Tamoxifens.

‘It was like a perfect storm. Then years later to that month it came back again. 

‘I had already made that decision if I was lucky enough again to get it early, they’re going. 

‘I know that’s a hard road to go down for a woman, I just wanted to win with cancer, and I won.’ 

Earlier on in the chat, Brenda made it very clear she was a huge fan of the singer and they belted out Left Outside Alone. 

And those watching at home were obsessed with the duo.  

‘Brenda! Just blew her away and did the voice spot on lol ! Ha ha ace! #loosewomen

Another chimed in: ‘Brenda is a great singer #LooseWomen.’

In 2013 it was revealed that the star had undergone a double mastectomy.

She had to cancel her European tour at the time after finding out her diagnosis.  

Anastacia said in a statement: ‘In light of Breast Cancer Awareness Month l wanted to take the opportunity to support a cause particularly close to my heart.   

‘l was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time earlier this year and am currently in the final stages of recovery after undergoing a double mastectomy.’

She added: ‘It has been an intense journey but l am feeling great and ready to start the next chapter. 

‘Breast Cancer Awareness Month gives all who are facing this disease a chance to gain strength and support from each other.

‘Early detection has saved my life twice. I will continue to battle and lend my voice in anyway I can.’

WHAT IS A DOUBLE MASTECTOMY?

A double mastectomy is the removal of both breasts.

This is a way of treating breast cancer and is often done to women who are at a high risk of the disease returning after therapy.

The treatment may also be suitable for women who are unable to have radiation therapy, have a tumour larger than 5cm across or have a mutation, such as in the BRCA gene, that increases their cancer risk.

Most women stay in hospital for one or two nights but are able to return to their regular activities within around four weeks.

Side effects can include pain, swelling, a build up of blood or fluid at the surgery site, limited arm movement and numbness in the chest or upper arm. 

After surgery, some women may wish to have the breast mound rebuilt to restore its appearance in breast reconstruction surgery.

Some patients may require other treatment after a mastectomy such as radiation, chemo or hormone therapy.
