Nicole Eggert has revealed that cancer has has been found in her lymph nodes following her initial breast cancer diagnosis.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the 52-year-old revealed that she was diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer in early December 2023 after she noticed things weren't feeling right in her body.

The actress had gained 25lbs and had a lot of pain in one of her breasts just a few months prior to her diagnosis and while she originally thought these may just be symptoms of menopause, a self-test saw her stumble across a lump that she had to get checked.

"It really was throbbing and hurting," she told the outlet. "I immediately went to my general practitioner and she told me I had to immediately go get it looked at. But the problem was I just couldn't get an appointment. Everything was booked. So I had to wait until the end of November to get it done."

After undergoing a mammogram and three biopsies, she was finally given the devastating news.

"This journey's been rough for me. This hasn't been a breezy sail through life," she admitted. "I always read inspirational quotes and corny stuff, but it gets me through."

The star is set to undergo an operation to remove the lump, which she noted gives her "panics" sometimes, before receiving chemotherapy and radiation.

At the time, she also opened up about not knowing whether the cancer had spread to other parts of her body, but in a new interview with Inside Edition, as reported by the Daily Mail, she revealed that medical professionals had found more of the disease in her lymph nodes as she started her treatment.

"The self-exams, I’m telling you, I kick myself. That’s the one thing I should have been doing," she said to the outlet before explaining how her breast implants proved to be a hindrance to her.

"If I didn’t have them and I had my smaller, natural breasts, I am sure I would have felt it much sooner," before going on to add that the implants were a "huge mistake."

"Ladies, please check your breasts! Prayers for Nicole," wrote one user while another added: "Prayers and well wishes go out to Nicole Eggert. The former Baywatch and Charles In Charge star was diagnosed with breast cancer. God bless her on a great and speedy recovery."

Jane Fonda announced on Friday that she has been diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing chemo treatments.

The 84-year-old actress shared the news with her 1.9 million followers in an Instagram post.

Fonda started her post: "So, my dear friends, I have something personal I want to share. I’ve been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and have started chemo treatments."

Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a form of cancer that starts in the lymphatic system - the part of our immune system responsible for protecting us against germs.

"This is a very treatable cancer. 80 percent of people survive, so I feel very lucky," she continued. "I’m also lucky because I have health insurance and access to the best doctors and treatments. I realize, and it’s painful, that I am privileged in this."

She went on: "Almost every family in America has had to deal with cancer at one time or another and far too many don’t have access to the quality health care I am receiving and this is not right.

"We also need to be talking much more not just about cures but about causes so we can eliminate them. For example, people need to know that fossil fuels cause cancer. So do pesticides, many of which are fossil fuel-based, like mine."

Fonda shared that she will undergo chemotherapy for six months and is so far "handling the treatments quite well," going on to emphasize: "I will not let any of this interfere with my climate activism."

The Grace and Frankie star added: "Cancer is a teacher and I’m paying attention to the lessons it holds for me. One thing it’s shown me already is the importance of community. Of growing and deepening one’s community so that we are not alone.

"And the cancer, along with my age --almost 85-- definitely teaches the importance of adapting to new realities.

"We’re living through the most consequential time in human history because what we do or don’t do right now will determine what kind of future there will be and I will not allow cancer to keep me from doing all I can, using every tool in my toolbox and that very much includes continuing to build this Fire Drill Fridays community and finding new ways to use our collective strength to make change.

"The midterms are looming, and they are beyond consequential so you can count on me to be right there together with you as we grow our army of climate champions."

Fonda has been very open about her history with cancer. In 2010, she underwent a procedure which removed a non-cancerous tumor in her breast, a rep confirmed to People at the time. Some years later, she revealed to British Vogue that she'd had a mastectomy in 2016. She also shared during a BUILD Series interview in 2018 that she'd had a cancerous growth removed from her lip.

Canadian snowboarder Max Parrot has given fans the ultimate comeback story in the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Just three years after being diagnosed with cancer, the 27-year-old Olympian won gold in the Beijing Winter Games on Monday.

CNN reports that Parrot was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in December 2018, just months after he won silver in the men's slopestyle event at the PyeongChang games.

However, he didn't let the diagnosis stop him and has now gone one better, taking home his first-ever Olympic gold medal thanks to a high score of 90.96 in the men's slopestyle at the Genting Snow Park.

He was joined on the podium by 17-year-old Chinese boarder Su Yiming, whose top score of 88.70 earned him the silver medal, and fellow Canadian Mark McMorris who took home the bronze.

Bloodcancer.org describes Hodgkin's lymphoma as "a type of cancer that affects your lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell)" which "means your body is less able to fight off infections".

Parrot underwent 12 rounds of chemotherapy to fight the disease before finally announcing in July 2019 that he had "won" against cancer.

After his victory in Beijing, Parrot reflected on the struggle he had faced over the past four years.

"At times, I felt like I was a lion in a cage because I wasn't able to do what I love the most, which is snowboarding," he said, adding: "That was the first time in my life that I had to put my snowboard in the closet."

The seven-time X Games champion went on to say that his battle with cancer has only given him more reason to love his sport.

"Every time I strap my feet onto my snowboard, I appreciate it so much more than before. I appreciate being able to do my passion every day," said said.

As for his big-scoring run in the Genting Arena - in which he landed two consecutive triples - Parrot said he was "extremely proud' of himself.

"I kept telling everyone I want to grab a gold. And to have it finally at my third Olympics feels really amazing," he said, adding: "I am extremely proud of myself and to take gold on that run means so much for me."

Congratulations, Max! A truly inspirational story for million of people out there!

A woman has opened up about the three symptoms she ignored for months before receiving a heartbreaking diagnosis of stage 4 cancer.Georgie Swallow has revealed the three symptoms she ignored for months before receiving a diagnosis of stage 4 cancer. Credit: Dave Benett / GettyGeorgie Swallow, a content creator from London, was only 28 when she was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma.The young influencer initially dismissed the subtle symptoms she was experiencing - itchy legs, night sweats, and persistent exhaustion - as signs of stress and fatigue.The severity of her condition only became apparent after she consulted her GP and they told her she had cancer.“I would itch until I broke the skin which would keep me up all night. I went to the doctor and they thought it could be stress, allergies, or urticaria but no cream or lifestyle change would make it go," she told Surrey Live.“During this time I was losing weight, having night sweats, constantly exhausted, and a never-ending stream of colds and flus but I just thought I was on the go too much and wearing myself out," she added.Swallow told the publication that she discovered a peach-sized lump in her neck after being off work for two weeks due to a severe flu.“Even then I wasn’t too worried because I just never even contemplated there would be anything serious wrong with me, naively!” she said.The content creator assumed her symptoms were normal, and was worried that she was “wasting everyone's time." However, she later found out that signs of lymphoma are minor which is why the cancer is often detected so late.“This is why lymphoma is diagnosed so late because you can brush the symptoms off so easily as other things," she said.The now-32-year-old heartbreaking revealed that her cancer diagnosis has tragically resulted in early menopause and the loss of her fertility.Speaking about this with Surrey Live, she said: “Cancer can take quite a lot away from you but having my fertility taken before I’d had a chance to have children was difficult. The menopause at any age can be difficult but at 28 I didn’t have anyone my age to talk to about it."“None of my friends understood what I was going through, and as supportive as they were, it’s hard to comfort and relate to something you don’t understand,” she added.The young woman is now keen to use her platform to spread awareness about the main lymphoma symptoms, and how it affects people physically and mentally."There are 42 recognized symptoms of menopause and I think we all talk about the hot flushes and loss of periods but the most important one for me would be mental health,” she explained.“I have spoken to so many women who felt like they were having a nervous breakdown, myself included, because they didn’t realize what they were experiencing was menopause," she continued. “Your mood changes and you can suffer with low moments and I think the minute you recognize what it is, the less stressful it becomes.”Featured image credit: SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY / Getty
