The 36-year-old actress Christina Applegate, who was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer this month, courageously talked about her ordeal on ABC’s Good Morning America, declaring she has undergone a double mastectomy, even though the cancer was only present in one of her breasts: “I’m clear. Absolutely 100-percent clear and clean.
I didn’t want to go back to the doctors every four months for testing and squishing and everything. I just wanted to kind of be rid of this whole thing for me. This was the choice that I made, and it was a tough one.

Reconstructive surgery is scheduled over the next eight months, but Christina Applegate faces everything with a developed sense of humor, which also helped her get past the hardships.
Applegate’s plans for the future are to appear on Stand Up to Cancer on ABC, CBS and NBC and raise funds for cancer research, as well as return to ABC’s Samantha Who? in September.
