Anastacia considers having breast cancer twice a "blessing".
The 'Left Outside Alone' hitmaker - who was first treated for the disease in 2003 - underwent a double mastectomy after again being diagnosed with the deadly condition last year, and feels like she has "won" in having the treatment.
She said: "I never would change it. I call even my second cancer more of a bigger blessing. I always look at what people may consider obstacles as triumphs, and I look at the second opportunity to having cancer as a blessing, because this time I got to choose the bigger stick in the choice, and I got the winning one by saying: 'you know what? You can take it.' I tried first time, trying like 'I don't like this bumpy boat. I would like to ride a smooth boat. I'm not a risk-taker, I don't gamble, this isn't part of the stuff I do.' So, I would rather take the road less travelled so; 'Chop them off. Go ahead.' "
And the 45 year old star joked she felt "grateful" to have her breasts removed and replaced with implants because they had been so large before the treatment, she enjoys having a new figure.
She added in an interview with Female First: "I had a very substantial amount of female parts, so I was never lacking in that category! So, I was grateful to downsize if I'm honest, I was like 'Holler! I've been able to trade in for a better model!' You know? So it kind of had a little plus to it!"
