Less than a month from her former lover’s death, the actress Christina Applegate was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer. If the disease is discovered in an early stage, and you take all the tests recommended by your doctor such as a mammogram and an MRI, breast cancer can be safely considered a non life-threatening disease. This was what, according to Yahoo the actress’ spokeswoman stated after the diagnosis. She was certain that, considering all factors, it was safe to assume that the disease will be easily treated and cured in the case of the famous actress.



The actress under 36 years old was invited to participate in the following month’s episode of the TV show "Stand Up to Cancer" which aims to raise funds for cancer research. The show was broadcasted simultaneously by U.S. television CBS, ABC and NBC. Christina Applegate was one of the actresses who began their career at an early age, but the role that made her famous was Kelly in "Married with Children".



Throughout her career, the actress won an Emmy in 2003 for the role she had in "Friends", but still has enough time to evolve more and perform better as an actress and one day, why not, she might even win an Oscar. The actress said in the television program "Good Morning America" that was cured of breast cancer after removing both mammary glands and, currently, is "clean one hundred to one hundred," according to bbc.co.uk. The actress also told the U.S. ABC television broadcasts that she decided to turn to the radical medical procedure, three weeks before, so that she will not have to go to medical examinations every four months.

"I am healed. Absolutely, 100% are cured and clean. They removed the entire tumor and I certainly will not die of breast cancer," said Applegate. Star of "Samantha Who?" was diagnosed with breast cancer after a routine examination, according to hollywood.com. She is now confident that the treatments which were followed later destroyed all tumors and breast cancer tissue. Christina Applegate revealed the fact that she began to tremble when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, not knowing what to do and who to call. "I was so angry and I remember shaking," she said.

As I was previously saying, Applegate is known for playing Kelly Bundy in the successful U.S. television series "Married With Children", so her popularity definitely helped many women and her disease probably made many other women go to a examination. Recently, Christina Applegate was nominated for an Emmy Award for the role in the TV comedy "Samantha Who?". She was also nominated for a Golden Globe for the same role, that of a woman who wakes up after having been in coma for eight days and she actually does not remember anything from the past. The actress participated in many televised shows which aim to raise funds for research on cancer, and in one particular event also took part actresses Meryl Streep, Jennifer Aniston and Charlize Theron.



Although cancer is a terrible disease, it is not that hard to be treated. Christina Applegate managed to fight the disease with courage and hope and she is now completely cured and she can enjoy life again. It is admirable that she also promoted and raised funds for this cause and so managed to save many more lives.
