Eggert announced her cancer diagnosis in January.
« I have a 12-year-old at home where I’m the only caregiver. I have no family. I have nothing, » she told People magazine. « It immediately made me realize, there’s just no succumbing to this. This is something I have to get through. This is something that I have to beat. She needs me more than anything and anybody, » she said of her 12-year-old daughter Keegan. Eggert’s other daughter, Dilyn, is 25.
« My fear is that my everyday hustle, everything that I do to keep everything going is going to come to a screeching halt when I’m not feeling well or I’m sick or I’m in the hospital or whatever is going on, » she added. « It’s just so overwhelming, and I’m just doing everything I can not to spiral. At night when I lay down, I panic because I’m like, well, who’s going to cover all the bills? Who’s going to do all of this? »

Eggert found a lump on her breast during a self-exam in October. At the time, the actress had gained 25 pounds in three months and was experiencing pain in her breast.
« It really was throbbing and hurting, » Eggert explained. « I immediately went to my general practitioner, and she told me I had to immediately go get it looked at. But the problem was I just couldn’t get an appointment. Everything was booked. So I had to wait until the end of November to get it done. »
She was eventually diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the second-most common cancer found in women across the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
