Nicole Eggert is continuing to keep fans updated on her breast cancer battle.
Roughly two months after revealing her diagnosis of stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer, the actress shared a video of herself shaving her head.
The sped-up clip—set to Beastie Boys’ hit “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)"—shows Eggert, who portrayed Summer Quinn on Baywatch, grabbing hair clippers and giving herself a buzz.
The 52-year-old even got an assist from her daughter, Keegan, 12, who helped her mom tackle some of the trickier spots to reach in the back.
Eggert then stroked her head before striking a pose to show off her new look, as Keegan cozied up to her, offering support for a few photos.
“Maybe healing involves not so much changing ourselves but allowing ourselves to be who we are - Madeleine Eames,” the actress captioned the post, which received plenty of support from fellow stars and fans in the comments.
“Sending you a big hug ?,” shared Jennie Garth, as Alyssa Milano added, “Grace. You have the most grace. It’s inspiring and I appreciate you.”
“BAD. ASS. Yes, you are. And stunningly gorgeous with or without hair!!” someone else suggested, while others encouraged her to “keep showing up” and to “stay strong.”
In January, Eggert detailed her symptoms following the diagnosis, noting that she gained 25 pounds over three months and had "terrible pain" in her left breast starting in October 2023.
In November, she underwent a discovery mammogram and three biopsies, which came back as cancerous.
Her treatment plan includes surgery to remove the cancer, along with chemotherapy and radiation.
Earlier this week, on March 13, Olivia Munn revealed that she's been diagnosed with an "aggressive, fast moving cancer" called Luminal B cancer in both breasts.
Since the cancer was found via an MRI and an eventual biopsy, she has already undergone four surgeries, including a double mastectomy.
