Snarky Gossip

Christina Applegate has had a double mastectomy!

Well, last week I told you that Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with breast cancer. This week, she has revealed that she has undergone a complete breast mastectomy, which means that both of her breasts are completely gone.

Apparently, she has a very aggressive breast cancer gene that makes her more susceptible to breast cancer, and since she does have a family history, she decided to go the very aggressive route, rather than waiting.

Here’s how Christina is handling things right now:

“Sometimes, you know, I cry and sometimes I scream and I get really angry and I get really like, you know, into wallowing in self-pity sometimes,” she said. “And I think that’s _ it’s all part of healing, and anyone who’s going through it out there, it’s OK to cry. It’s OK to fall on the ground and just scream if you want to.”

She is going to have breast reconstructive surgery in the next 8 months or so, so she’s in for quite the ordeal. Amazing.
