10. Montel Williams
Who’d have thought Montel would be on the mastectomy list? And he didn’t even have breast cancer! When he was a 19 year old Marine, torn pectoral muscles were misdiagnosed as male breast cancer, and he was given a double mastectomy to combat the disease. It lead to problems with emotional eating and depression, which was further complicated by a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 1999. The talk show host kept his struggles secret for years, but decided to be open about his experience in 2012.
