Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The Huffington Post reports that the “cancer was detected through an MRI ordered by a doctor and is not life-threatening”.
Applegate caught the cancer early which is vital to beating the disease. At 36 years old, many are shocked by Applegate’s diagnosis. However, her mother is a survivor of both breast and cervical cancer.
A family history increases the risk of cancer, so it’s good to see that Christina wasn’t ignoring the possibility, even at such a young age. In fact, Christina has been a long-time supporter of Susan G. Koman For the Cure.
We hope you join us in wishing Christina a quick and speedy recovery.
