10 Stars Who Had a Mastectomy, and Not All Are Women

8. Wanda Sykes

The actress/comedian revealed in 2011 that she had breast cancer and elected to have a bilateral mastectomy to deal with it. She was undergoing a cosmetic breast reduction procedure when the cancer was detected. With a maternal history of cancer in her family, she said, “I had the choice of, you can go back every three months and get it checked. Have a mammogram, MRI every three months just to see what it’s doing. But, I’m not good at keeping on top of stuff. I’m sure I’m overdue for an oil change and a teeth cleaning already.” Now she has no worries about getting breast cancer again.
