Christina Applegate is healthy again, just a month after she announced she had breast cancer.

“I’m clear. Absolutely 100 percent clear and clean,” she told Good Morning America yesterday. “It did not spread — they got everything out, so I’m definitely not going to die from breast cancer.”

To ensure the cancer would be completely removed, Applegate chose to have a double mastectomy, removing both of her breasts.

“I didn’t want to go back to the doctors every four months for testing and squishing and everything,” she explained. “I just wanted to kind of get rid of this whole thing for me. This was the choice that I made and it was a tough one.”

She will be undergoing breast reconstruction surgery over the next several months, and says she finds her own ways to heal.

“Sometimes, you know, I cry. And sometimes I scream. And I get really angry. And I get really upset, you know, into wallowing in self-pity sometimes. And I think that it’s all part of the healing.”

Applegate’s mother is a repeat breast cancer survivor.
