It's been a bad year for Christina

First, Christina Applegate's long time boy friend, Lee Grivas died of a drug overdose and now she's being treated for breast cancer. Her reps say: “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.”

Get well, Christina. Christina's mother also had breast cancer and Applegate spoke of it in 2003 saying : “The first time she was diagnosed I was a very young girl – probably 7. I’m not sure it really fully hit me at the time, but she had to undergo surgery and have a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. It was devastating for my mother to lose one of her breasts and have to go through all that. It is a very personal cancer for the women it affects. This is about women’s womanhood. It’s one of the aspects of our femininity.”

Married with children was and still is hilarious, she was great in the role of Kelly. It's so sad her having to tackle this at this time in her life, not thats theres good time to face it! But it has been a rough year for her aside for this diagnosis.

Best wishes and good vibes sent your way Christina.
