Christina Applegate 

This is sad news.

Christina Applegate has breast cancer.

The 36-year-old’s rep announced the news in a statement, which read:

‘Christina Applegate was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer. Benefiting from early detection through a doctor-ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening. Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery. No further statement will be issued at this time.’

This has been a summer full of hardships for the Samantha Who? actress. In early July, Christina’s on-again, off-again boyfriend was found dead in his apartment.

We’re sending some positive thoughts Christina’s way.
