Christina Applegate is cancer free

Earlier that month Jacki told you that Christina Applegate, star of Samantha Who?, had been diagnosed with breast cancer, and now I have some great news to share — the actress has announced that she is totally free of cancer, thanks to the early detection and the proper treatment.

Applegate, 36, has been getting annual mammograms since she turned 30 — her mother is a breast cancer survivor, so she was aware of her risk. In an interview with Good America’s Robin Roberts (also a breast cancer survivor), she recalled her reaction to finding out she had breast cancer: “I was so mad and I — I just remember I was — I was just shaking. And soon after plus immediately, I had to go into … ‘take-care-of-business mode,’ … I asked them, ‘What do I do now? What — what is it that I do? I get

a doctor, I get a surgeon, I gen an oncologist? What do I do?”

What Applegate did was get all the help she needed, and she switched to a macrobiotic diet. And, obviously, it worked — she’s clear and told the world, “I’m clear. 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.”
