American actress Christina Applegate has had several serious health issues. In 2008 she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a bilateral mastectomy. In 2017 she had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed to lessen the risks of developing ovarian cancer. Four years after that Applegate announced that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, in 2026 she revealed that, though she was still suffering from symptoms that are commonly associated with MS, her doctor had informed her that she had been misdiagnosed and does not have MS.
