The actress, who played lifeguard Summer Quinn on the hit '90s series, is now receiving donations and well-wishes as she battles the disease.
In a recent interview with TET, the 50-year-old opened up about her cancer journey so far. She revealed her diagnosis of breast cancer and decided to share the news publicly in order to help others. She said, "I thought if I could help just one person, it was worth it to me to come out with it.”

Eggerts details her cancer experience so far
In interviews with Hindustan Times and ABC News, Eggert opened up about her experience with breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. She said finding the tumor through self-examination was "scary" and has struggled with anxiety, especially at night. The actress is currently undergoing chemotherapy and hopes to have a lumpectomy soon, though the process has been "rough" both physically and emotionally.
"When I lay down at night, I panic. I'm like, 'Is this going to spread? Am I going to be okay?'" Eggert candidly shared with Hindustan Times. She credits her faith and family support system with helping her cope. "I have an amazing husband who is so supportive. He's been with me every step of the way," Eggert told ABC News.
The Baywatch star's willingness to discuss her fears and struggles provides insight into the personal impact of a cancer diagnosis. Her transparency also helps spread awareness of the disease.
