ORIGINAL ARTICLE: August 3, 2008
LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with breast cancer, a rep for the star confirmed to Access Hollywood.
“Christina Applegate was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer,” a statement from the star’s rep to Access read. “Benefiting from early detection through a doctor ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening.”
The 36-year-old actress, who currently stars on ABC’s “Samantha Who?,” is undergoing undisclosed treatment for the cancer, the rep’s statement noted.
“Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery. No further statement will be issued at this time,” the statement concluded.
Earlier in the week, it was announced that the star was one of the many celebrities lined up to take part in “Stand Up To Cancer,” a benefit, airing on NBC, ABC and CBS September 5.
