Stars Who Beat Cancer: Sharon Osbourne, Ewan McGregor and More

Cancer is no joke, and we’re often reminded of its impact when a celebrity undergoes their own battle with the disease. Fortunately, many of them have been able to beat it.

Sharon Osbourne was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2002 and underwent chemotherapy to mediate the issue. Though she successfully recovered, the Osbournes alum chose to have a double mastectomy in 2012 to lower her chance of getting cancer again.
