Good lord (a salute to Christina Applegate and her breasts)

Ok--you know what I was saying yesterday about how Christina Applegate's cancer scare had a happy ending? Well fortunately, that still appears to be true.

However, it turns out that the treatment she underwent was a bit more radical than I had at first imagined--and I tip my hat to her...



"Samantha Who?" star Christina Applegate, 36, is free of cancer after having both breasts removed to combat the disease, the actress told a U.S. television news show on Tuesday.

Applegate, who revealed her diagnosis for breast cancer earlier this month, had the double-mastectomy performed a month after her diagnosis, she said on ABC's "Good Morning America."


Also fortunately, Applegate's stardom is built on a lot more than just her body-naturally hot though it is.



She's genuinely funny. Still, any woman would have to be strong to make such a decision--but for an actress, whose looks are a part of her career?

I always knew I liked that girl. She's a fighter.

It was a brave but prudent decision, there's no point in being a corpse with perfect breasts. Apparently breast cancer runs in her family, and she didn't want to be worrying about it recurring at some point in the future.

She has said that she will definitely be having reconstructive breast surgery and said that she's planning to "have cute boobs till I'm 90." That's the spirit!
