It must be very difficult to go through that... I can't imagine... But she is dealing with it and has a good attitude. I am very proud of her and wish her the best.

Answer 1

I salute her courage.

Answer 2

Me too. I had a huge crush when she was Kelly Bundy. :^p

Answer 3

She wants to have a baby and she feared about the possible side-effects of a chemotherapy on the foetus. On the other side, saving her breast and delaying chemo could endanger her own life. Anyway, Christina's choice was so difficult, I don't really know what I'd done in such a dilemma. My **** are very small but I love thems !

Answer 4

I stand in AWE of the the way she is handling it.  Very courageous.  My mother has been diagnosed with breast cancer and I could not imagine what it must be like to deal with the diagnosis at such a young age and in the public spotlight.

I also wanted to note that she stated she did test positive for BRCA1 gene mutation which is associated with genetic breast and ovarian cancer so, in my opinion, that probably was a major factor in her decision for the double mastectomy.

Answer 5

It's both a good news and a sad news. I'm glad to know that she will be better now, without any risk of relapse. But what a pity for such a beautifull pair of nipples...
