Actress Christina Applegate was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Fortunately for Christina, the cancer was diagnosed in the early stages and should be easily treated according to her publicist.
A spokesman for the Samantha Who? star released a statement saying:
“Christina Applegate was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer. Benefiting from early detection through a doctor ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening. Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery. No further statement will be issued at this time.”
Already helping to fight for the cause, Applegate signed on to lend her time and talent on the Stand Up to Cancer telethon to be aired on September 8th on CBS, NBC and ABC. Other big name celebrities slated to appear on the telethon will be: Meryl Streep, Jennifer Aniston, Sally Field, Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson.
