Toni Braxton has tumor removed

The AP reports that Toni Braxton had a good reason for not dancing on the finale of “Dancing With the Stars” last month: The 41-year-old singer says she had a benign tumor removed from her breast the week before.

“We have family history. My grandmother on my dad’s side died of breast cancer, and I have aunts on both sides that have breast cancer”, she says. “I was worried about what they would find,” the 41-year-old Grammy winner says. “But it was benign.”

Doctors discovered the lump in August, but decided not to proceed with treatement at that time. It “was definitely still there and bigger,” she says. “I was very fortunate. Cancer knows no race, no creed, no color.”

Good News: Christina Applegate cancer free

Christina Applegate appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America in her first interview since she announced she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent a double mastectomy three weeks ago, but is in good spirits. She’ll undergo reconstructive surgery over the next eight months.

“I’m going to have cute boobs ’til I’m 90, so there’s that,” she joked in the interview, which aired Tuesday. “I’ll have the best boobs in the nursing home. I’ll be the envy of all the ladies around the bridge table.” “I just wanted to kind of be rid of it,” she said. “So this was the choice I made and it was a tough one.”

“I’ve laughed so much in the last three weeks,” she said. “I love living, and I really love my life, and I knew that from this moment on it was only going to be good that was going to be coming. Yeah, I’ll face challenges, but you can’t get any darker than where I’ve been. So knowing that in my soul gave me the strength to just say, `I have to get out there and make this a positive.’”

Applegate is scheduled to appear on a one-hour TV special, “Stand Up to Cancer,” to be aired on ABC, CBS and NBC on Sept. 5 to raise funds for cancer research.
