UPDATE: Christina Applegate Talks to Oprah On Surviving Breast Cancer

On Tuesday’s Oprah Winfrey Show, Christina Applegate says she wasn’t surprised when she was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 36, reports Usmagazine.com.

“I knew. I just knew. And I went home and they called me and, I mean, you don’t — you don’t want to hear that ever,” she says.

“It came back positive. And I just — like right now I’m sitting here shaking remembering that moment. As you guys know, you don’t think it’s gonna happen to me,” she adds.

Soon after her diagnosis, the actress decided she was going to have a double mastectomy – even though cancer was only detected in one of her breasts.

“Yep. I was just gonna let them go,” she tells Winfrey.

Applegate is now cancer free.
