Christina Applegate is cancer-free! Yaaaay! Christina Applegate is also boob-free. Yaaa–wait, that isn't cool. People says:
Christina Applegate, who was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer this month, revealed on ABC's Good Morning America Tuesday that she has undergone a double mastectomy ñ even though cancer was only detected in one of her breasts.
Privately, she admits, "Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I scream, and I get really angry and I get really into wallowing in self-pity sometimes, and I think itís all part of healing."
Having watched her mother, Nancy Priddy, battle breast cancer ñ and then suffer from a recurrence many years later ñ the Emmy-nominated star of Samantha Who?, 36, told interviewer Robin Roberts that she wasnít taking any chances, especially since she has the breast cancer gene, BRCA1.
ìMy 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,î said Applegate. ìSo basically I had a prophylactic double mastectomies.î
Explaining her rationale in taking that dramatic step, she said, ìI didnít want to go back to the doctors every four months for testing and squishing and everything. I just wanted to kind of be rid of this whole thing for me. This was the choice that I made, and it was a tough one.î
The surgery took place three weeks ago. She did not undergo radiation or chemotherapy. Asked her prognosis, Applegate told Roberts, also a cancer survivor, ìIím clear. Absolutely 100-percent clear and clean.î
Over the next eight months she will undergo reconstructive surgery. Iím gonna have cute boobs till Iím 90,î she quipped, as Roberts pointed out how Applegateís sense of humor has helped the actress endure the ordeal.
This is historically the part of the entry in which we make a nasty yet clever jab at the celebrity about whom we are reporting. Breast cancer isn't really a treasure trove of yuks though. So here's a joke. Did you hear about the cow that won the Nobel Prize? He was out standing in his field.
