While Christina Applegate was recovering from her double-mastectomy in the hospital, her good friend Lance Bass was of the many friends who stepped up to the plate to show their support, according to People.com.

"I was at the hospital holding her hand and getting her through it," says the former *NSYNC star. "She is a very, very loved person."

The "Samantha Who?" star announced less than a week ago that she had the dramatic surgery, and Lance reports that Christina is doing great and "totally, fully recovering."

Lance also says that the 36-year-old star was able to distract herself after surgery by doing crossword puzzles and crafting hundreds of roses out of lace.

"She doesn't know what she's going to do with them," he tells the mag, adding the decision to announce her double-mastectomy on national TV was an easy decision for her.

"Now she has a voice and she can use it for something good," he says. "Just opening her mouth about it is going to make thousands of women go get checked out. It will probably save many lives."
