People has a preview of Christina’s appearance on “Ellen” - which airs today!

Christina Applegate has been bravely outspoken about her battle with breast cancer. But, the Samantha Who? star reveals, she wasn’t always so forthcoming.

“I went back to work for about five weeks right after the second surgery,” Applegate tells Ellen DeGeneres on Friday’s show. She adds, “I didn’t tell anyone [about the diagnosis].”

Actually, she did share the news with a few members of her inner circle.

“I told my make-up and hair people and people that are really close to me …,” she explains. “I had a protection wall [on set], so that no one was pushing me.”

The 36-year-old was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer earlier this year. She is now cancer free after undergoing a double mastectomy.

She and DeGeneres recently bonded at the Stand Up to Cancer fund-raiser. (The event also featured fellow cancer sufferer Patrick Swayze and megastars like Jennifer Aniston.)

“[I'm feeling] so much better than the last time I saw you,” she tells the talk show host. “I was really … afraid of people hugging me. People are really huggy at those things.”

“I apologize,” DeGeneres says. “I hugged you.”

But these days, Applegate inists, “I’m good. I’ll grab ya.”

DeGeneres responds with a promise: “I’m going to hug you a bunch during this commercial break.”

I have finally uploaded photos of Christina from the Emmy awards. There is over 150 photos total, so make sure to check them out! You can view them all by clicking on the thumbnails below.

I have uploaded the first two videos of Christina from her appearance on “Oprah” last week! They are the two segments that feature just Christina and her discussion about her cancer. Please click on the thumbnails below to download each video, the first thumbnail is the first part and the second thumbnail is the second part. The files are approximately 30mb (1st part) and 22mb (2nd part) in size - but they’re also long segments.

Thank you so, so, so much to Mandy for helping us out with these videos!

I’ll be updating the website with photos from the Emmy’s tomorrow! Sorry for the delay in adding them, but there’s hundreds of them. lol

Christina is scheduled to be a guest on “Ellen” next week! Her episode will air on Friday, October 10 and Ellen will be talking to Christina and Sheryl Crow… You can learn more about the show and find the exact air times in your area by visiting ellen.warnerbros.com.

Thanks to Mandy for letting me know about this!

We will be having a video available for download after the show airs…

I’m also still working on getting the clips from “Oprah” up on the site for download… I have some people who are currently sending me files (thanks Mandy and Jesse) and I’ll be uploading throughout the week!

I hope everyone was able to catch Oprah today! I sadly did not, I don’t have TV right now, but I’m currently searching for video clips to put up and share with everyone… If you can donate videos from the show - please contact me - thanks!

Christina’s organization “Right Action for Women” is now active! You can read more about the organization and more importantly donate at the website http://www.rightactionforwomen.org/…

Today, more than 250,000 women under the age of 40 in the U.S. are breast cancer survivors, and I am lucky to be one of them. Recently, I underwent genetic testing and learned I have a mutation in the BRCA 1 gene, making me more susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer. My mother is also a breast cancer survivor. A family history of breast or ovarian cancer on either side of a family (Mother’s or Father’s side) can put someone at higher risk for developing the disease. Because of this, my doctor ordered a variety of screening tests which try to detect cancer in its earliest stages (when it is most treatable). One of these tests was a breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, and it saved my life.

MRI is one of the breast screening tests recommended by the American Cancer Society for women at increased risk for breast cancer (MRI is not recommended as a screening tool for women at average risk for breast cancer). Unfortunately though, this service is not always covered by insurance and many women across the country cannot afford the high costs of a breast MRI. I hope through the creation of Right Action for Women we can provide aid to those individuals who are at increased risk for breast cancer and do not have insurance or the financial flexibility to cover the high costs associated with breast screenings.

During my recent doctors’ visits, I gained an appreciation for the tremendous expense associated with breast cancer screening and treatment. The reality is that unfortunately many women aren’t undergoing genetic testing or having screenings because of financial burden or insurance limitations. As a survivor, I am committed to helping women access the information and tests they need to beat this disease.

I encourage you to read through the information provided on the next page and visit the resource center which provides you with links to important websites. Educate yourself, know your family history and talk to your doctor about your risk for cancer at your next clinical exam.

Please join me and Right Action for Women. Together we can help give all women a chance to beat this disease.
