Christina Applegate Cancer Free After Double Mastectomy

Actress Christina Applegate has revealed that she is now cancer free, after making the heartbreaking decision to have a double mastectomy.

The 36-year-old was first diagnosed with breast cancer last month, and has been given the all-clear by doctors following her surgery.

“I’m clear. Absolutely 100 per cent clear and clean,” Applegate said.

“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.

“So basically I had a prophylactic double mastectomies,” the former Married With Children star continued. “I didn’t 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.”

However, the decision to go through with the surgery was a tough one, and Applegate still experiences periods of depression because of the outcome.

“Sometimes, you know, I cry and sometimes I scream and I get really angry and I get really like, you know, into wallowing in self-pity sometimes.

“And I think that’s - it’s all part of healing, and anyone who’s going through it out there, it’s OK to cry. It’s OK to fall on the ground and just scream if you want to.”

Applegate underwent the double mastectomy three weeks ago, and will have reconstructive surgery over the next eight months.

She joked: “I’m going to have cute boobs ’til I’m 90, so there’s that. I’ll have the best boobs in the nursing home. I’ll be the envy of all the ladies around the bridge table.”
