Applegate has both breasts removed

US actress Christina Applegate has had both of her breasts removed after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

The star told US breakfast show Good Morning America, she was "100% clear and clean" following the procedure.

"It did not spread. They got everything out, so I'm definitely not going to die from breast cancer," she added.

Applegate, best known as Kelly Bundy in US sitcom Married With Children, opted to have surgery after testing positive for the BRCA1 breast cancer gene.

'Shaking'

Applegate was diagnosed with cancer in one breast last month after a doctor-ordered MRI scan.

The star - whose mother, Nancy Priddy, is also a breast cancer survivor - admitted she had been having mammograms since the age of 30.

Applegate, now 36, revealed she was "so mad" when she received the diagnosis.

"I was just shaking and then also immediately, I had to go into 'take care of business' mode.

"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," Applegate said.

She had the surgery three weeks ago, she told reporter Robin Roberts, and will have reconstructive surgery over the coming months.

"I'm going to have the best boobs in the nursing home," she joked. "I'm going to be the envy of all the ladies around the bridge table."

Applegate is scheduled to appear on a one-hour TV special, called Stand Up to Cancer, to be aired on ABC, CBS and NBC on 5 September to raise funds for cancer research.

That must have been really tough for her. I'm glad she is doing well though.

At the moment no. On the link they have a clip of her talking about it and she is going to have reconstructive surgery. She said she'll have the nicest breasts in the nursing home.

So how does reconstructive surgery go? Implants or what?

Two-Face · 08-19-2008, 06:52 PM

This sucks

I really loved her boobs.

terry78 · 08-19-2008, 06:55 PM

The irony is not lost on this. Kelly Bundy without breasts. God.

Though it brings up an issue for the women...if you had to lose both your boobs, but live longer, would you? I don't know if those things are to you what the penis is to us.

rdh007 · 08-19-2008, 07:31 PM

That would be a much tougher call for a dude.

Sawyer · 08-19-2008, 07:52 PM

You know, guys, there are such things as implants these days. We aren't living in the 19th century...

Its terrible that she has to go through this, but I think some of you are acting like its the end of the world. For you.

That's a very brave decision she made, double mastectomies are very rare.

Great to hear she is going to be ok. Ive always liked her. Breast implants will take care of the rest. Get well soon!!!
