Christina Applegate ‘Lost It’ Meeting Surgeon
By Karen | September 30, 2008
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month so who better than the star of ‘Samantha Who?’ Christina Applegate, to show all of us grace under fire? Christina spoke candidly with Oprah Winfrey on a special installment of ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ that will air this afternoon. Christina discusses her recent radical double mastectomy.
“So you just made the decision that you were gonna let both go,” Winfrey asks the actress, in reference to the decision to have both breasts removed.
“Yep. I was just gonna let them go,” says Applegate, who then says, when asked if she cried, “You know, I – at first I didn’t. And then when I met with my doctor and I told him that was my decision and he brought the surgeon in and it was like the flood gates just opened up and I – I lost it.”
In terms of first receiving her diagnosis (something “you don’t want to hear … ever”), Applegate recalls the doctor’s words as, ” ‘It came back positive.’ And I just – like right now I’m sitting here shaking remembering that moment. As you guys know, you don’t think it’s gonna happen to me.”
Christina is now thankfully cancer free. Christina was a presenter at this years Emmy’s and was heard on the red carpet remarking that she is “doing fantastic” and is “Great”. This is very nice to hear and we are so happy for Christina!
