Christina Applegate revealed that she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis recently. It came as a shock to her Twitter followers and fans as they read the news on social media. That moment was followed by an absolute wave of emotional support and kind words by the entire community online. Over the years, the Married With Children star has been very open when it comes to these challenging moments. She had a breast cancer diagnosis in 2008 and then had to undergo a double mastectomy. Then, doctors discovered that she had the BRCA gene mutation that causes a heightened risk of cancer, which means Applegate had to have her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed in 2017. There was also surgery-induced menopause in the year following that operation. It’s just a lot for any one person to handle, but she’s staying strong and asking fans for a little privacy as she navigates this new situation.
Hi friends. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS. It’s been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition. It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some asshole blocks it.
