Nicole Eggert has undergone a mastectomy and breast reconstruction amid her ongoing struggle with stage 2 cancer, the Baywatch alum shared.
"Had a mastectomy with reconstruction on Thursday. How was ur weekend?" Eggert, 53, wrote on Instagram on Thursday, Aug. 28, in the caption for a mirror selfie. In the photo, Eggert wears a black compression bra and white panties.
The Charles in Charge alum first shared her breast cancer diagnosis with PEOPLE in January, explaining that, after having "terrible pain" in her left breast and gaining 25 lbs. In three months, she'd been told she had stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer — a rare type — and often spoke of how desperately she wanted the tumor removed.

"I have panics where I'm like, just get this out of me," she told PEOPLE at the time. "You sit there and it's in you and you're like, every second that passes and it's inside of me. It's growing, and you're just like, you just want it out."
Eggert told PEOPLE on Aug. 27 that she's "good" — but "I am in sort of a gray area and I finished my treatment, waiting for more imaging and hopefully maybe surgery."
As she explained, the "waiting" and "gray area is the hardest because you don't know what's happening ... when I'm doing treatment, I felt like I was doing something productive."
"So it felt positive and I was like, okay, I'm doing something positive," Eggert continued. "And now that it's just like nothing, it's like, well wait a minute. We got to get this out. So it's just frustrating."
The actress has been transparent in sharing her cancer journey, posting a video as she shaved her head before starting chemotherapy treatment. "Maybe healing involves not so much changing ourselves but allowing ourselves to be who we are - Madeleine Eame," she captioned the video, in which her daughter Keegan, 14, helped by shaving the back of her head.
