Christina Applegate Has Cancer
Sad sad news.
Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Her rep released the following statement late Saturday:
"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."
We're hoping for a full, speedy recovery.
It's been a rough few weeks for the actress.
Her on again-off again boyfriend died of a drug overdose last month.
Christina is scheduled to appear on the Stand Up to Cancer benefit scheduled to air simultaneously on CBS, NBC and ABC September the 5th.
Tune in and show your support for Miz Applegate and the cause!

How Do We Say This Delicately????
Diddy Survives Atlanta Club Shooting
Did she really think that by chain smoking she would not get cancer?? Hard to feel sorry for someone that chain smokes. Hey CA chain smoking and the pill equal cancer. When will people learn?

STAY STRONG CHRISTINA!!!

From bottom of my heart I hope she will get well soon as possible.
This is sad news. I hope her treatments go well and the cancer never comes back. Get Well, Christina!

why does Christina have to get it ! why not Rachel ”Rasin Face” Zoe ?
If I am not mistaken, her Mom is a breast cancer survivor.

My prayers are with her.

We are sending you our love!
Christina - you go, girl! My best wishes to you as you go through your treatment. I am sure you have good doctors advising you, and possibly have already had genetic testing. I'm a hereditary breast cancer survivor. Really, please consider your prophylactic options if this is a genetic disease for you. Big hugs!
get well soon christina! i wish you all the best, and be strong. you are a very talented woman.
Stay strong!!!!
OMG!! I can't believe this…why her? she's so funny, i love her show Samantha Who? What is gonna happen with the show? or her?
I just hope she get well soon….
Re: Big J –
Ok I don't know what is wrong with you- clearly you are just ignorant BUT….1) 3 people in my family have had cancer- 2 have died and one is still alive. 1 of them smoked, two of them didn't . Maybe one day you will learn the difference between an ENHANCER and a CERTAINTY. ok? Oh, and BY THE WAY the pill has been proven recently to HELP women with certain immunities from some illnesses. So..hmm…shut up ok?
Very sad…I'm glad that the caught it early….GET WELL Christina…You have my best wishes and all your fans too.
Thank you so much! I try to tell people the same thing. They always look at you as if you are nuts. It's not only early detection. Try to make simple changes, it adds up over time.
Wow. What sad news…Me and some friends were discussing how much she has changed since Married With Children and how much we admire her. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers Ms. Applegate.
that is so sad.. she is fabulous.. get well soon !
Early detection is key!
Get well soon Christina, stay strong!

I bet Christina hooks up with Lance Armstrong. LIVESTRONG!!!
GET WELL CHRIS !!! I LOVE THAT GIRL !!!…. FIRST !….. im like sad for her… she's great ! GET WELL !!!!!
You'll get through this. You're stronger than what you think and you have huge support from up above. Get Well Soon!
her boyfriend is trying to take her with him
i feel sorry for her shes amazing i love her…………………x
So sad, I guess it doesn't matter how old you are to get breast cancer
Well wishes and thoughts sent her way
Stay Strong and Positive!
God Bless You!
get well soon
First you cry - then you fight. All the misinformation - the only thing you need to get breast cancer or ovarian cancer is that you are a woman - not your age, not having children (my sister who battled for 8 years breast cancer had both of her children by 25 and she died). Some women die, some live and the only one to decide is God, but we do wish her the good fight and prayers. And for the idiot male comments - it is rare, but it is still very real - men can also get breast cancer - so laugh at "poor Kelly Bundy" you may be next.
Re: adam – get well soon christina . adam you are disgusting.
OMG!!! just to show u - shit can happen to anyone any time
well good luck to her - that really sux
OMG! I love Christina! Get better soon and stay strong!
I just hope she gets better and all, because she is one hell of an actress and seems like such a great person.
She is SO funny and I'm sure she will overcome this and keep us laughing for a long time!
SAVE CHRISTINAS BOOBS!
GET WELL SOON!!loved her friends!still love her((:
Why do they even announce stuff like that? I wouldn't. I'd keep it all to myself until I was on the brink of death.
GET WELL AND BEST TO YOU CHRISTINA!!!!
It took a good actor to play stupid kelly bundy. It was a character you dumbies
Very sorry to hear this. They just keep getting younger. They say the cancer numbers are decreasing. I don't believe it. I know too many people that died of cancer. I hope she beats it. It sounds optimistic. Good luck to her. God bless.
Christina is beutiful , I WOULD PRAY FOR HER TO GET WELL REALLY SOON
Get Well Soon Gurl, Ive Been There Had Chemo, Radiation Extra..Its Hard But Theres Light At The End Of The Tunnel
aww.. ill pray for her
Re: adam – how dare you? go to hell.
omg and she is only 36…
Christiana We will be praying for you! God Bless you and your family at this difficult time in your life. And We (My Family) will be praying for a speedy recovery. God Bless!
Christina is a smoker. Smoking increases risk of getting breast cancer. Keep on smoking girls!
I pray that ms applegate has a speedy recovery
aw, man. that's so hard to hear. she finally made a successful career comeback. poor thing. stay strong!
best of luck to you christina!! i am a huge fan you are one of my fave actresses & we are all wishing for your health. peace & love =)
I absolutely love Christina Applegate and have for a long time. Samantha Who? is a much better show than what a lot of people have been saying. Anyway, I really hope she is okay right now and much better in the future. She seems like a very strong woman.
If they caught it early its probably Ductal Cancer in Situ. She will probably have a lumpectomy, radiation and Tamoxifen. Better detection means they catch alot of breast cancer early. Women need to get a Mammography every year If you have no insurace call the American Cancer Society and they will get it for you free
God keep her well, strong and healthy. Wishing and hoping for all the best.
Our prayers with you Christina…
We love you…
What a sad last few months shes had
I'm glad they caught it early and it's not life threatening though
She has really grown up in the public eye from being Kelly Bundy and all the other movies she;s been in, but you never hear anything but you never hear any thing bad about her, Sending her lots and lots of love and hope her better times ahead real soon
We love you Christina and hope for a speedy recovery and strong support. XO
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Christina. Stay strong. I know you'll make a full recovery.
omg this is horrible she is really young..
kelly bundy rocks
Good Luck
Re: Nadia – You might want to check your facts before trying to give advice. Look on snopes.com & it explains this as a myth. I'm a breast cancer survivor and my oncologist said deod. has NOTHING to do w/ cancer. Good luck Christina, keep the faith and know there are many praying for you!
Was it not Christina Applegate who was at the Viper Room when River Phoenix died that night and she found his convulsions amusing? Going so far as to laugh out loud at him as he died? Of course the story's been rewritten over time, but I remember hearing the stories when it happened. Karma's a bitch.
Get well soon!
this is tragic. i abolutely LOVE christina, she seems so down to earth and halarious.
keep her in your thoughts and prayers, shes one fo the few good ones.
Stand Up To Cancer!!!!! Check out the site, such a great cause

Get well soon Christina !
