Christina Applegate Is Fighting Breast Cancer

Christina Applegate Is Fighting Breast Cancer

Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer, a rep for the actress confirms.

The 36-year-old Samantha Who? actress released a statement via her spokesperson: “Christina Applegate was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer. Benefiting from early detection through a doctor ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening. Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery. No further statement will be issued at this time.”

This is just one month after her photographer ex-boyfriend Lee Grivas was found dead in his Hollywood apartment — the victim of drug overdose.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you, Christina!

so sad! the scary thing is she is only 36, and it is recommended to begin getting mamograms at 40. What if this would have gone 4 years untreated! Clearly God is on her side, and she will be fine. I think this should be a wakeup call thats its NEVER to early to examine for things like this…

hopefully all will go well with Christina. As for the ex boyfriend being a ‘victim of a drug overdose’ that’s a laugh. Seems to me that the only people that die of drug overdoses are those that are drug users. Of course you have your accidential overdoses that were a result of a mistake of someone in the medical profession, but from the sounds of this writing, he was a victim of himself.

I don’t know anyone that has died from a drug overdose that wasn’t a drug user.

I hope she will overcome this. It’s good that they caught it early, that means she can get treatment faster and get better sooner.
Hope she get well! :)
