Questions and Answers on Christina Applegate's Breast Cancer

Getting a diagnosis of breast cancer can be a shock at any age, but it's even more surprising when it happens to someone young, as it did to 36-year-old actress Christina Applegate. It's unusual to hear of someone getting the disease at that young an age, but it does happen. A good friend of mine from college was diagnosed with breast cancer in her early 30s, but unfortunately by the time it was caught it was too far advanced. She died at age 35.

The good news is that Christina Applegate's breast cancer was caught early and she has a very good prognosis. WebMD has put together an FAQ (frequently asked questions) on Applegate's breast cancer, so women can learn from her experience.
