The former Married With Children vixen tells the magazine:
“It’s a roller coaster of emotions. But there was a calm about what I had to do…I really tried to take everything in stride and one day at a time.” By July the actress opted to undergo a double mastectomy. “You have to get through the physical transformations, then buck up, go to work and try to be the normal, happy Christina for everyone around you…You don’t look the same anymore and you never will. A part of you is gone…It’s a decision that you made to save your life.”
And on the photo that emerged of her smoking a cigarette recently:
”The day I found out I had cancer I quit anything that was bad for me that I was putting in my body. Over the last year, with everything that’s happened [including the death of her ex-boyfriend Lee Grivas in July], there have been a couple of times that I’ve slipped up. That was one of those rare occasions…”
