00:00 Baywatch star Nicole Eggert expressed her gratitude towards her fans for their steadfast
00:07 support in her healing journey.
00:09 Nicole, who once fired the screen during the 90s with her elegant yet energetic presence
00:16 on screen, revealed her severe health issues and she went public with her cancer diagnosis.
00:23 The 15-year-old has been fighting with breast cancer and after her revelation, she received
00:30 immense support from all her co-actors and fans in the form of donations and well-wishes.
00:38 Her Baywatch co-actors David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson stood behind her.
00:43 There is a page set up to help her financially with treatment and she received thousands
00:49 of dollars through those donations.
00:52 One more great thing is that donations have already crossed the original target of 25,000
00:59 US dollars.
01:01 She said that she really felt touched and this encouragement would definitely make her
01:06 journey a little bit easier.
01:09 She can completely focus on her health recovery as financial aid won't be a big task now.
01:15 In an interview with Hindustan Times, Nicole shared how difficult it was for her to accept
01:22 this illness.
01:23 She had anxiety attacks many times, her chemotherapy sessions are going on and she will hopefully
01:30 undergo a lumpectomy.
01:33 Emotional support is a significant and much-needed thing at such time.
01:39 But she mentioned that she has an amazing husband who is with her in her suffering.

01:50 health battle publicly.
