Christina Applegate Chose Breast Reconstruction, So How Come Other Women Don’t?

By Anne Krueger

Sunday night, actress Christina Applegate stood in front of a crowd of her peers and millions of viewers at the 60th annual Emmy Awards. And I couldn’t help wondering, how many of them were looking at her chest?
After the 36-year-old star of Samantha Who? had a prophylactic double mastectomy, she told Good Morning America that she would be undergoing reconstruction over the next several months.
I sat in on a Web seminar last week to learn about the latest developments in breast reconstruction, and I was surprised to learn how few women actually choose it even though the technique is improving all the time.
To find out about Christina’s surgery, the latest breast reconstruction advances, and why some women don’t opt for it, please read this week’s post in Health.com’s Breast Cancer Journey.
