Three weeks ago, Christina Applegate, who was diagnosed with early breast cancer, in only one breast, had both breasts removed (double mastectomy) . And she will have reconstructive surgery over the next 8 months.

She made her decision by taking an over view of what her options were and what the possible chances of her getting breast cancer in the other breast. Christina carries the gene mutation, BRCA1, linked to breast and ovarian cancer. She also watched her mother battle breast cancer.
