Leave it to Oprah to tear off her guest’s facade. Christina Applegate bares her real reaction when the reality of her cancer diagnosis set in… and her decision to have a radical masectomy.

“When I met with my doctor and I told him that was my decision and he brought the surgeon in and it was like the flood gates just opened up and I – I lost it

Christina Applegate is a new woman. In this interview she talks about how wonderful it is for her life to be “normal” again (or as normal as you can be, when you’re a celeb) … and how grateful she is to be alive.

Christina Applegate has been declared cancer free… though she had to get a double masectomy. It was a difficult decision — and a terrifying time — for the actress. “Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I scream, and I get really angry and I get really into wallowing in self-pity sometimes, and I think it’s all part of healing.”

We’re sending positive thoughts to Christina Applegate who has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Luckily the cancer was detected in its early stages and not considered life-threatening.

Interestingly Christina Applegate, Alyson Hannigan & skinny minny Kate Bosworth all have invited the paparazzi to Hawaii this week to take pics of their newly hot bods.

Kinda odd, but I guess if you’re spotted on the beach looking hot, it might put some well-needed life back into your career?

Anyhoo, enough was enough for Applegate who got out of the ocean to reason with a particular pap who was shooting her way too much. Seems like to me, Christina, that if you invite someone to your little party you can’t really expect them not to load up on cake.
