Emmy award nominated Samantha Who star Christina Applegate has just been diagnosed with breast cancer.

"Benefitting from early detection through a doctor ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening. Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery," her rep said in a statement to Us.

Applegate, whose mother is a breast cancer survivor, is currently enjoying a television comeback with her television hit, Samantha Who, about to enter its second season on ABC.
