that is indeed good news.
America, that will air tomorrow morning, Tuesday, August 19th announced that she has been given a clean bill of health regarding her recent cancer scare, her test came back as she stated on the morning program, "Absolutely 100% cancer free".
Who writes these awful BWW.com press releases? Who edits them? Ugh.
Excellent news. I am thrilled for her, she is so talented and seems very sweet and humble. I can't wait to see more of her in SAMANTHA WHO?
This is great news. I was just reading the article in PEOPLE magazine this week. I'm also looking forward to a new season of SAMANTHA WHO?
Congrats to Miss Applegate. And kudos for her for having the good sense to get the double mastectomy. I hope her story opens up younger women's eyes as to how common this is.
According to IMDB, she had a double mastectomy. That's pretty scary.

Just her sense of humor in spite of it is refreshing. What a trouper. God bless her.
her double mastectomy is all over the news.
I wish her a speedy recovery and much health.
Bless her heart.......
I'm glad to hear she is now totally cancer free!
her double mastectomy is all over the news.
but no where is it mentioned in the BWW News Desk.
A mastectomy is a very serious procedure. For most people with breast cancer, mastectomies are the last option they would take. It's kinda shocking to hear. I'm glad she is doing well though.
I've heard of alot of people with strong family histories doing that as a preventative measure. I'm not sure I could do that.
I love how she's able to joke that she'll have the cutest breasts in the nursing home now.
She made a wise and courageous choice, in my opinion.
Great news. One of best friends had to make this decision at age 25. You don't know how strong your friends really are until they face something like this.

Bless her. Strong, courageous woman. Wonderful actress. I wish her a long, happy life.
That's wonderful news for her. I'm wishing her a speedy recovery.
She is a brave and compassionate person for making the decision to have the surgery and to let others know about it. Speedy recovery, Ms. Applegate.
This woman is the embodiment of "the show must go on" mentality.
God bless her.

What a brave woman. I'm inspired by her strength and openness in talking about this issue. I hope she knows how many people are pulling for her.
There is a specific subset of Breast Ca that is genetic and very malignant. W a close relative such as her mother having the disease she was probably tested and found to have the genetic link. Bilat mastectomy is usually recommended in those cases. Hopefully next year she can have some reconstructive work. And kudos to her for continuing on w her life and work!
