Christina’s Cancer-Free

Christina Applegate was a guest in today’s Good Morning America and she spoke about her battle with cancer. The Samantha Who? star announced that she had early stages of breast cancer a couple of weeks ago. At GMA Christina revealed to host Robin Roberts (herself a cancer survivor) that she has undergone double mastectomy, even though the cancer was only detected in one of her breasts. “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. “I didn’t want to go back to the doctors every four months for testing and squishing and everything,” she continued. “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.” Christina had her operation three weeks ago. Her mother, Nancy Priddy, also battled with the disease. Christina is now “100% clear” of the cancer and will undergo re constructive surgery. She will be back filming Samantha Who? next month and she is also set to appear in the TV special Stand Up to Cancer, airing September 5 on ABC, CBS and NBC and raising funds for cancer research.
