Christina Applegate revealed the details of her treatment with a sporting candor. Applegate, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last month, has had both her breasts removed. She had tested positive for the BRCA1 gene mutation linked to breast and ovarian cancer.

In an interview with Good Morning America she said, "My decision - after looking at all the treatment plans that were possibilities for me - the only one that seemed the most logical, and the one that was going to work for me, was to have a bilateral mastectomy.

The star seems to be pretty relieved after getting rid of cancer and in fact has managed to retain her humor.

"I'm going to have cute boobs till I'm 90, so there's that," she joked in the interview. "I'll have the best boobs in the nursing home. I'll be the envy of all the ladies around the bridge table."
