‘Baywatch’ star Nicole Eggert cries after ‘cancer tattoos’

Nicole Eggert has provided a health update nearly a year after she first announced her breast cancer diagnosis.

Baywatch alum recently posted a video on Instagram in which she talked about her latest hospital admission. “Okay, I just finished a CT scan, mapping – as they call it – for my radiation treatment, and when they said they were going to give me a tattoo, I didn’t realize they were real, real tattoos, so I got tattooed . !” the video has started.

She then cried as she realized how permanent the tattoo would be. “And it’s a small thing, it’s nothing but dots, but damn, every step of this process will never let you forget about it, it’ll just always be a constant reminder,” Eggert continued.

“So yes, I have tattoos. My mom will be very proud of my neck tattoo, but that’s okay, that’s normal.”

“And people were great and still weren’t looking forward to it, but I got through that part and the rest I’ll just have to work on myself and how I get through it and ignore these new tattoos that I have. “

Charles in charge The star also made a video on Instagram ahead of her appointment, where she expressed concerns about receiving radiation and what the after-effects of the procedure might look like.

“They’re going to do a CT scan and they’re calling it imaging and tattooing my organs. This is so that when they inject radiation into me, they will hopefully be able to miss most of the vital organs,” she said.

“It will hit some of them to some degree, but hopefully not to a harmful degree,” Eggert continued.

“What I struggle with is that I know how much harm radiation causes. My father had it in his brain, he had tumors in his brain, and after the first treatment he was no longer the same person.”

Eggert shared her breast cancer diagnosis for the first time in an interview with the magazine. People. The actress initially said she had symptoms including a 25-pound weight gain in three months as well as “horrible pain” in her left breast, and suggested it was nothing serious and just part of menopause.

Eggert didn’t go to the doctor until she felt a lump in the same breast. “It was really throbbing and painful,” she told the publication at the time.

After visiting her doctor and being told to further evaluate the tumor, Eggert received her diagnosis after a mammogram and three biopsies.

While Eggert does have a family history of cancer—her father has skin cancer and her mother has colon cancer—she explained that her “biggest fear” with the diagnosis is not having two of her daughters, 13-year-old Keegan and 26-year-old Dilin.

“(Dilyn) is an adult, but I have a 12-year-old at home and I am the sole caregiver. I don’t have a family. I have nothing,” she said, pointing to the “horror” on Keegan’s face as she told her about the diagnosis. “It immediately made me realize that it was simply impossible to give in to this. This is what I need to go through. This is something I have to conquer. She needs me more than anything or anyone.”
