Re: Christina Applegate Fights Breast Cancer
Dear Christina,
Please take care of yourself and do what your healthcare professionals advise. My oldest daughter passed away 3 years ago from complications of Breast Cancer. She was 29 years old. She was diagnosed @ 26, fought valiently but her initial diagnosis was too late.
You will be in my prayers and I know that you will be a survivor. As a side note, my daughter always like your acting abilities. She was a fan and so am I.
To all young women from puberty on up, please, please do your self breast exams daily. Report any suspicious findings immediately. Sometimes these "findings" grow into something that could have been prevented.
God Bless to all and be safe!
