Christina Applegate Cancer Free After Double Mastectomy

Actress Christina Applegate is 100% cancer free after a double mastectomy three weeks ago. Just two weeks ago her publicist announced that Christina had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She discussed her decision to have the mastectomy on Good Morning America on Tuesday.
Having watched her mother, Nancy Priddy, battle breast cancer – and then suffer from a recurrence many years later – the Emmy-nominated star of Samantha Who?, 36, told interviewer Robin Roberts that she wasn’t taking any chances, especially since she has the breast cancer gene, BRCA1.
“My decision, after looking at all the treatment plans that were possibilities for me, the only one that seemed the most logical and the one that was going to work for me was to have a bilateral mastectomy,” said Applegate. “So basically I had a prophylactic double mastectomies.”
Applegate will have reconstructive surgery on her breasts. She is in good humor about it all.
Over the next eight months she will undergo reconstructive surgery. I’m gonna have cute boobs till I’m 90,” she quipped, as Roberts pointed out how Applegate’s sense of humor has helped the actress endure the ordeal.
Our continued prayers to Christina! Hope to see you at the Canyon Country Store soon!
