Exactly what was Applegate's breast cancer diagnosis? I know its early stage, but is that a small invasive or DCIS or something else. Wow, I googled her name a few times, but just can't come up with the specific diagnosis.

I agree with her double mastectomy, given her BRAC1 mutation. Mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 predispose to breast cancer and ovarian cancer so I wonder if she will be taking her ovaries out as well???
