Christina Applegate: From Divorce And Cancer To Engagement and Pregnancy
In August 2008, Christina Applegate was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was confirmed by her representative, who said in a statement:
"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".
After a double mastectomy, Christina was declared free of cancer.
Christina Applegate's cancer ordeal happened after her divorce with husband Johnathon Schaech.
Earlier this year, Christina announced that she is engaged with musician Martyn LeNoble, whom she said helped her in overcoming cancer. Yesterday, it was announced that she is pregnant with their first child.
