Samantha Who actress Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer according to her publicist. She is expected to make a full and complete recovery.

“Christina Applegate was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer. Benefiting from early detection through a doctor ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening.”

The rep added: “Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery. No further statement will be issued at this time.”

Christina has had a very rough summer. Just last month her long-time on-again/off-again boyfriend Lee Grivas was found dead from an overdose. Our prayers and thoughts are with CA and wishing her a full recovery.

UPDATE: Applegate’s mother also battled breast cancer.
