Nicole Eggert underwent surgery after doctors detected early signs of another cancer.
The “Baywatch” actress, 54, has been suffering from breast cancer since 2023, but in an article she recently shared on social media, she revealed that recent test results showed that the cancer could spread. She made the decision to have a complete hysterectomy.
“We can allow our fear and anxiety, or surrender to this great mystery with courage,” he wrote on Instagram. “What a journey. The test results showed early signs of cancer. I am grateful to my doctors for monitoring me in this way.”

She explained that “A Full Hysterectomy eliminates at least 7 different types of cancer,” and shared a photo showing the new scars from the procedure. She added several hashtags to the post, including “ovarian cancer” and “screening.”
In December 2023, after experiencing unexplained weight gain and pain in her left breast, Eggert was diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma of the breast, a rare form of the disease.
Soon after, she underwent her first mastectomy – she later explained that she wanted to do a double mastectomy at that time, but her doctor advised her that if she only had one breast removed, she would be able to go into treatment quickly, and her immune system would not be too affected, so she agreed.

A year later, in August 2025, she had another breast removed, and surgeons reconstructed it. She shared the news on an obscure Instagram post, taking selfies and writing, “Had mastectomy with reconstruction on Thursday. How was ur weekend?”

In an interview with Fox News Digital in November, Eggert said, “I’m good right now. I’m checking to make sure you don’t have any disease. So, that’s great. It’s a month-to-month thing. So it’s like, I get a clear bill of health, and I’m happy for a month, and then we do it all over again. So you know. So, it’s not just complaining. It’s still looking good, and the symptoms are clear.”

It seems that the actress knew that a hysterectomy was on the table. She previously told Fox News Digital that after undergoing mastectomy and breast reconstruction, she will undergo surgery or start hormone therapy. According to the Cleveland Clinic, most cases of cribriform carcinoma breast cancer are estrogen receptor-positive, which occurs when “high levels of estrogen in breast cancer cells help the cancer grow and spread.”
As he explained to The American Sun in December, his type of cancer is something he will have to deal with for the rest of his life.

“The worst and funniest advice is that people will say, ‘A year from now, you’ll look back, and it will be behind you,'” she said. “And it’s not, it’s eternal. It’s eternal.”
