Nicole Eggert, the actress famous for her role as Summer Quinn on the television series Baywatch, revealed how she initially dismissed the symptoms of her life-changing breast cancer diagnosis.
Eggert attributed the effects of her stage 2 carcinoma to menopause, believing the changes to her breast tissue were the result of normal changes associated with aging and fluctuating hormonal levels.
“What I thought was, you know, our breast tissue is always growing and changing, and as women, our breasts move, and gravity hits and all that. So, I kind of chalked it up to that,” she said.
