Christina Applegate is Cancer-Free

Christina Applegate announced some very good news yesterday: her doctors told her she is now “100% clear and clean” from cancer. During an interview with Good Morning America, Christina discussed her recent breast cancer diagnoses and subsequent recovery.

“I’m clear. Absolutely 100 percent clear and clean. It did not spread. They got everything out, so I’m definitely not going to die from breast cancer.”

The 36 year old actress said she has underwent mammograms since the age of 30 (her mother is also a breast cancer survivor), but was still shocked to learn a doctor-ordered MRI came back detecting cancer.

“I was so mad. I was just shaking and then also immediately, I had to go into … `take-care-of-business-mode,’ which was … I asked them, `What do I do now? What… what is it that I do? I get a doctor, I get a surgeon, I get an oncologist? What do I do?’

“I immediately made those appointments and immediately called around for … someone to start teaching me how to live macrobiotically.”

The GMA interview with Christina is scheduled to air later this morning on ABC.
