Fans poured their love and showered the actress with their support after she tweeted the sad news. One Twitter user who faced a similar experience, tweeted, "My wife went through this several years ago Sharon. Oddly, her pain wasn't constant, but when it hit it would send her into orbit. It was simply unbearable. She finally received an accurate diagnosis followed by surgery. Recovery was a bit slow but she did fine." 

Another added, "Oh no babe. I had the exact same 3 years ago. You was so right to get a second opinion. Hope you have a speedy recovery. All my love." A third one wrote, "I'm so sorry to hear that you are ill. Best wishes for surgery and a speedy recovery. Thanks for always sharing your experiences with us and for looking out for us!" 

One Twitter user pointed out she has something in common with Stone by writing, "Turns out Sharon Stone and I have something in common. In both cases, our docs missed giant fibroid tumors. Glad she's on the mend, too. Maybe I should see if she wants to do some Wordscapes while we're recovering." Another Twitter user added, "Thank you @sharonstone for sharing your misdiagnosis. The EXACT SAME thing happened to me. Years of worsening symptoms & being gaslit by a monsterous Dr who said it was all in my head even though the 2 lb tumor made me look pregnant. Hysterectomy a year ago but ptsd remains." 

One Twitter user prayed for the Stone's speedy recovery. She tweeted, "@sharonstonenpraying all goes well with your surgery I had a very large fibroid tumor in 1990 and it was successfully removed at Loma Linda I’m doing great now ."
