I've always had a bit of a crush for Christina Applegate. She had breast cancer and is now diagnosed with MS.
"Breast cancer[edit]
On August 3, 2008, People reported that Applegate had been diagnosed with breast cancer. This was confirmed by her representative who said in a statement, "Christina Applegate was diagnosed with an early stage 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."[35] On August 19, 2008, it was announced that Applegate was cancer-free after a double mastectomy, though cancer was found in only one breast.[36] She has an inherited genetic trait, a BRCA1[37] mutation, which can trigger breast and ovary cancer. Her mother, Nancy Priddy, is a breast cancer survivor. Applegate said when she first was diagnosed, "I was just shaking and then also immediately, I had to go into 'take-care-of-business-mode,' which included a change to a more healthy diet."[38]
Multiple Sclerosis[edit]
On August 10, 2021, Applegate published a post on Twitter announcing that she had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a few months prior to the post. She stated that she has had great support through others with the disease, and requested privacy going forward.[39"
