Christina has a lot to smile about these days... Particularly about her clean bill of health she received recently. About two weeks ago, Applegate announced that she had breast cancer. She had found out during a doctor-ordered MRI. She was scared and angry at first, but then she was all-business and got right into treatment. The actress was on Good Morning America yesterday discussing the ordeal. She had the following to say (via Yahoo.com):
"I'm clear," Applegate tells ABC News' "Good Morning America" in an interview airing Tuesday. "Absolutely 100 percent clear and clean. It did not spread. They got everything out, so I'm definitely not going to die from breast cancer."
Applegate's interview with "GMA" was taped Monday.
The actress' publicist, Ame Van Iden, announced earlier this month that Applegate was being treated for the disease after it was detected through a doctor-ordered MRI.
"I was so mad," she says in the "GMA" interview when she first heard the news. "I was just shaking and -- and then also immediately, I had to go into ... `take-care-of-business-mode,' which was ... I asked them, `What do I do now? What -- what is it that I do? I get a doctor, I get a surgeon, I get an oncologist? What do I do?'"
Applegate, 36, says she "immediately made those appointments and immediately called around for ... someone to start teaching me how to live macrobiotically." She was referring to following a healthy diet of fish, grains, beans and vegetables, and avoiding processed foods.
I am so happy for her. It is always smart for women over 18 to get mammograms regularly and visit their doctor. Christina was able to win this battle because she detected the cancer early, and that seems to be the key to beating it. Twice a year ladies, that's all it takes!
