After a double mastectomy, Christina Applegate is cancer-free.
"I'm clear," the "Samantha Who?" star told Good Morning America. "Absolutely 100 percent clear and clean. It did not spread. They got everything out, so I'm definitely not going to die from breast cancer."
With her signature good humor, Christina joked about the reconstructive surgery she'll have after the loss of both breasts:
“I’m going to have cute boobs ’til I’m 90, so there’s that,” she said. “I’ll have the best boobs in the nursing home. I’ll be the envy of all the ladies around the bridge table.”
Christine was diagnosed earlier this month — and was very angry about it at first, People reports:
"I was so mad," Applegate reveals to Good Morning America. "I was just shaking and - and then also immediately, I had to go into... 'take-care-of-business-mode,' which was ... I asked them, 'What do I do now? What - what is it that I do? I get a doctor, I get a surgeon, I get an oncologist? What do I do?"'
When told of her diagnosis, Applegate says she, "immediately made those appointments and immediately called around for ... someone to start teaching me how to live macrobiotically."
With a family history of the disease (mom Priddy had a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery when Applegate was 7-years-old and later underwent a hysterectomy), the former Married with Children star says, she began getting mammograms at the ago of 30.
Two words: Thank God.
