Christina Applegate Talks About Life After Cancer

April 30th, 2009

Actress Christina Applegate has opened up about how she coped with her very public battle with cancer – which resulted in a double mastectomy followed by a reconstructive breast surgery – telling People magazine, “You have to get through the physical transformations then buck up, go to work and try to be the normal, happy Christina for everyone around you.”

Applegate also revealed that source of strength for her lies in her relationship with Dutch bass player, Martyn Lenoble.

“He’s been a friend for about 13 years,” the Samantha Who? actress says.

“Our relationship gets stronger and stronger. I’m really lucky.”

Applegate continues, “I’m very grateful to Martyn for coming along at a time that he did because he’s been my rock through all of this. He gave me something to really want to live for and something to smile about.”

Awww… do I hear the potential sound of wedding bells?
