http://www.komonews.com/n...tertainment/27129744.htmlChristina Applegate calls double mastectomy a `tough' choiceNEW YORK (AP) - Christina Applegate is taking the long view of her battle with breast cancer - the really long view.
Speaking on ABC News' "Good Morning America" in her first interview since announcing her diagnosis earlier this month, the "Samantha Who?" star said she had a double mastectomy three weeks ago. She'll undergo reconstructive surgery over the next eight months.
"I'm going to have cute boobs 'til I'm 90, so there's that," she joked in the interview, which aired Tuesday. "I'll have the best boobs in the nursing home. I'll be the envy of all the ladies around the bridge table."
The 36-year-old actress elected to remove both breasts even though the disease was contained in one breast. She said she is now cancer-free. Wow.

Seriously: Tough choice for her, and I'm glad she caught it early enough to have good options left.

Agreed,.. tough choice.

 There's perky, there's righteous, and there's "Holy crap! Where'd those come from?" |

She is (has always been) a very beautiful woman. Boobs or no boobs. I wouldn't kick her out of bed, unless she wanted to *fudge* on the floor.
I wish her the best in continued good health.
