Nicole Eggert of Baywatch fame shared a hospital bed selfie while undergoing breast cancer treatment. At 52, she embraced her new appearance with the caption "Egghead ♥️🥚♥️."

This act followed her breast cancer diagnosis two months earlier, a revelation made public after experiencing alarming symptoms and undergoing tests.

Eggert said:

“I have panics where I'm like, just get this out of me. You sit there and it's in you and you're like, every second that passes and it's inside of me. It's growing, and you're just like, you just want it out,”

Eggert's decision to shave her head amidst her battle against breast cancer reflects her unwavering determination. As she faced this challenging journey, she acknowledged its roughness and shared her primary concern for her children.

Eggert expressed deep concern for her youngest child, a daughter who is only 12 and whom she solely cares for.

“It immediately made me realize, there's just no succumbing to this. This is something I have to get through. This is something that I have to beat. She needs me more than anything and anybody.”

Despite the daunting road ahead, Eggert remained resolute, determined to triumph over this adversity, especially for the sake of her loved ones.


People commented with support for Eggert and commended her for her courage.
