'Baywatch' star Nicole Eggert underwent mastectomy in ongoing breast cancer battle
Nicole Eggert is continuing to fight a rare form of breast cancer.
On Thursday, she revealed Instagram that she had undergone another mastectomy, as well as a reconstruction by Orange County plastic surgeon Dr. Kyle Song.
She told fans the grueling news by posting a selfie posing in a sports bra and a pair of underwear, along with the caption: “Had a mastectomy with reconstruction on Thursday. How was ur weekend? #breastcancer #breastcancerawarness #feelyourselfup.”
The former “Baywatch” star was diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer in early December 2023.
Last October, she shared that she had undergone a single mastectomy after her doctor told her to “do the single” instead of a double as it would maintain her immune system if she had to have her other breast removed.
Before she shared her latest mastectomy news, Eggert posted a video in April telling fans that health meant everything and that they should take time out to love their bodies.
“Give yourself so much love. Because we spend so much time just picking ourselves apart and comparing ourselves and wishing this was better, that was different – all of these things, when really we need to be giving thanks and being grateful for this body that shows up for us every single day,” she said.
“It’s because of this body that you have that allows you to get up and have a day – a god day or a bad day or any of it and to feel all the things you feel – it’s because your body is doing all this work for you, and showing up for you.”
Eggert concluded, “So, let’s be grateful for the miracles we are and remember to be kind because it’s not only what we put in our bodies like, nutritionally, in your mouth, it’s our thoughts. It’s our inner dialogue – that creates a place or nourishment and health. And health being the key word here. So let’s give this a shot love yourself.”
