Nicole Eggert Details Recovery After Mastectomy, Plans Additional Surgeries

She credits her daughters for keeping her focused through a taxing course of care.

Overview

  • The Baywatch alum said she underwent a mastectomy with reconstruction on Aug. 28 and is recuperating at home.
  • On the Sept. 1 episode of her podcast, she described early recovery as rest, TV and prescribed painkillers and said she is relieved to have the operation behind her.
  • She said more procedures are scheduled for next month after spending a year weighing surgical options and medical opinions.
  • Eggert noted that ongoing menopause symptoms and post-treatment care leave her at clinics roughly half the month.
  • She emphasized family support from her two daughters, and said one of them also had surgery last week.
