'GETS ME THROUGH'
In January, the TV star revealed to People that she was diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer in early December 2023.
In October 2023, Nicole experienced pain in her left breast and found a lump during her self-examination.
At the time, she also gained 25 pounds during a three-month period.
“It really was throbbing and hurting. I immediately went to my general practitioner, and she told me I had to immediately go get it looked at," the Blown Away actress said.
"But the problem was, I just couldn’t get an appointment. Everything was booked."
"So I had to wait until the end of November to get it done," she continued.
“This hasn’t been a breezy sale through life. I always read inspirational quotes and corny stuff, but it gets me through.”
'I HAVE PANICS'
The 52-year-old star planned on having the cancer surgically removed as well.
“I can definitely feel it. It’s there. It needs to be taken out," Nicole admitted.
"So it’s just a matter of do I have to do treatment before the surgery, or can they perform the surgery and then I do the treatment after.”
“I have panics where I’m like, 'Just get this out of me,'” she admitted.
