I'm sure you have heard by now...Christina Applegate has cancer and had surgery to remove both breasts. Christina is not an actor that I really follow that much. She is one those actors that doesn't annoy me in any way, but I certainly don't run out to see her next movie. But, I watched her interview recently about her cancer and how she is dealing with this awful disease. I have to say, I was impressed. This women is less than one year older than I am. Which makes you stop and think...one year. She is facing the this life threatening disease head on with strength and determination. But, mostly, I loved the way she talked about her mom. Also a cancer survivor, Christina described her mom as a "Quiet Warrior". And, she said that she will survive this because she watched her Mom fight the fight. She knows how its done..she learned from the best. I love that...Quiet Warrior. And, trust me, I know about strong Moms being a quiet warrior.
Christina is also starting a charity to help women get MRIs for early detection. Cuz, I guess the insurance companies won't pay for those tests in most cases. What? Seriously, who decides this? I doubt it was a woman. Christina is showing the world that she is going to make lemonade when the bastards give you lemons.
I just wanted to wish Christina a speedy and full recovery.
And, one last thing...CANCER SUCKS.
