Eggert told the US publication that the journey to being diagnosed has been “rough”, saying: “I always read inspirational quotes and corny stuff, but it gets me through.”<\/p>\n
The actress will need surgery but is waiting for her doctors to determine if the cancer has spread and when chemotherapy and radiation treatment will start.<\/p>\n
A friend of Eggert’s has set up a GoFundMe page to fund her treatment as “it’s been a long time since Charles In Charge and Baywatch”.<\/p>\n
Her friend wrote on the fundraising page: “As a single mom, she’s had to struggle financially to raise her two daughters.<\/p>\n
“She still has a little one at home and she is terrified of not being able to afford the treatments and surgery necessary while also keeping a roof over their heads.<\/p>\n
“She’s lost both her parents and doesn’t have any family to lean on or help her with this situation.”<\/p>\n

Eggert told People her “biggest fear” is not being there for her daughters, Dilyn, 25, and 12-year-old Keegan.<\/p>\n
“[Dilyn’s] an adult, but I have a 12-year-old at home where I’m the only caregiver. I have no family. I have nothing,” she said.<\/p>\n

She needs me more than anything and anybody.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] Baywatch star Nicole Eggert has been diagnosed with breast cancer aged 51.
