'Baywatch' star Nicole Eggert recalled the warning signs that she missed ahead of receiving her breast cancer diagnosis. The 52-year-old actress was diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer in December 2023. Eggert initially believed the symptoms she had been experiencing were due to menopause. During an interview with Fox News Digital, Eggert shared the clues that she overlooked before learning of her diagnosis.
While speaking with Fox News Digital, Eggert explained that the next steps in her treatment process include a second mastectomy and breast reconstruction. Following those surgeries, Eggert will either undergo a hysterotomy or begin hormone therapy, which would require a monthly estrogen-blocker injection for the next ten years in addition to the two oral medications that she will need to take for the next five years. 'There's a lot that goes into this,' she explained.
'It's something I had to figure out on my own,' Eggert added. 'You know, from my bed going, ‘What is wrong with me?’ And it's the discovery of all of this and then figuring out solutions that work for my body and trying everything nonstop until something.' 'It's been strange, but the lymphatic system is miraculous. It's resilient, and it can really back up on you and feel horrible — like tremendous pain.
don't want to see them hurt,' she said. 'That hurts me more than anything, is to think of them in pain or to think of them losing me or being hurt in any way. It hurts us tenfold. And so that's what it is. It's figuring this out and fighting as hard as I can so that my kids have a mom.
And as parents do, I cry in the shower, and I cry when she's not home,' Eggert said. 'And you know, of course, there have been some instances, but that's only natural, and that's only human.' 'And she just is really a bright, shining light through it all and really keeps me going and really gives me the strength to fight.' Fox News Digital's Elizabeth Stanton contributed to this report.
