Eggert announced in January 2024 that she had been diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer the month prior. The Charles in Charge actress told PEOPLE at the time that she began gaining weight and feeling pain in her breast in October 2023. While she initially thought she was just going through menopause, a lump in her breast that was “throbbing and hurting” prompted her to go to the doctor.

In May, Eggert shared an update on her health with Yahoo Life’s Unapologetically series, revealing that after completing chemotherapy, radiation and her first mastectomy, she was on targeted therapy for her lymphatic system.

“So I’m on a lot of heavy-duty hormone blockers, which are pretty intense. We’re just really trying to keep it at bay,” she told the outlet.

The mom-of-two continued that her cancer journey has shifted her relationship with her body. “I spent so many years picking my body apart, picking myself apart, and all of a sudden one day I realized, This body is what makes me be able to have a day,” she shared. “This body is what makes me get up and be able to be sad or be happy, to be able to laugh. This body works hard for me every day, and I’m sitting there criticizing it.”

“I just have never loved myself more — and my body looks crazy right now!” she continued with a laugh. “My body looks crazy, and I love every bit of it and I am so thankful to it.”
