I would like to take a brief snark free moment to send positive thoughts to a celebrity in strife. News broke today that Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
This is yet another sting in the tale for the actress, who lost her boyfriend, Lee Grivas, to a drugs overdose, 1 July. Applegate, 36, is no stranger to this illness as her own mother is a survivor.
Her rep issued this 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.
