Christina will be undergoing a course of chemotherapy, which is often a follow-up procedure to the mastectomy operation,” the tabloid writes in its August 18 edition.
A rep for the Samantha Who? star confirmed over the weekend the actress was diagnosed with breast cancer following a recent MRI, but the Enquirer insists Christina made the drastic decision to have both breasts removed before trying any other method of treatment because she carries a hereditary cancer gene.
Christina’s own mother, actress Nancy Priddy, is a two-time breast cancer survivor. She underwent a double mastectomy in 1977.
