Applegate revealed her diagnosis for breast cancer earlier this month and had undergone the double mastectomy a month after her diagnosis.

“Samantha Who?,” star said that she bore a genetic risk for developing breast cancer, and she said her surgery was meant to stop the cancer she suffered in one breast from coming back.

“Sometimes, you know, I cry,” Applegate said. “And sometimes I scream. And I get really angry. And I get really upset, you know, into wallowing in self-pity sometimes. And I think its all part of the healing.”

Talking about her mother, Nancy Priddy, who survived breast cancer and helped support the film and TV star in battling cancer Applegate said, “She’s been sort of this quiet warrior in the back and has been a great support, and just telling me that I was going to be OK. And I knew I was going to be OK. I've watched her.”

In the interview with ABC, Applegate revealed that she will have reconstructive surgery on her breasts in coming months.

Applegate told “Good Morning America” that she is initiating a charitable foundation to help women meet the costs of MRI exams, which helped in diagnose of her disease.

The actress is also slated to appear on upcoming TV fundraiser “Stand Up to Cancer” singing alongside Mariah Carey, Beyonce and Sheryl Crow, who also has battled breast cancer.
