Nicole Eggert of Baywatch Goes Bald After Cancer Diagnosis
Nicole Eggert is sharing an update on her health.
The Baywatch alum, who was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in December, posted a video of herself shaving her head as part of her treatment.
Nicole shared the March 14 video on Instagram set to the tune of the Beastie Boys‘ song “Fight For Your Right,” with her daughter Keegan, 12, also seen helping. Along with the video, the actress from Charles in Charge included a quote from author Madeleine Eames: “Maybe healing involves not so much changing ourselves but allowing ourselves to be who we are.”
The 52-year-old initially revealed her diagnosis earlier this year, recalling feeling a lump in her left breast during a self-examination in October.
“It really was throbbing and hurting,” she told People in January. “I immediately went to my general practitioner and she told me I had to immediately go get it looked at.”
Nicole had to wait a month to get a mammogram due to scheduling, but after the exam and three biopsies, she received a positive diagnosis for breast cancer.
