Baywatch star Nicole Eggert shared a clip with fans detailing her battle with breast cancer.
The 52-year-old’s emotional video was shared on her Instagram page yesterday, Thursday, March 14, where she showed a clip of her shaving her hair off.
Set to the song Fight for You Right by the Beastie Boys, she captioned the video by quoting motivational speaker Madeleine Eames.
She wrote: “Maybe healing involves not so much changing ourselves but allowing ourselves to be who we are.”

Eggert took the clippers to her locks until they sat to her scalp with each pass-through. When she finished, she admired her new look by rubbing her hand across her head with a smile.
It comes a week after the TV star told fans her hand had started falling out as she fought breast cancer.
She explained earlier this month: “It’s a week before my next treatment. I’m feeling really good [and] strong.
“I feel normal as could be except that my hair’s starting to fall out now. Just like little wispies keep falling out on my face, it’s like if you have your bangs cut dry and all that fine hair falls in your eyes.”
“That’s strange, but at least it’s so far, like, slow and steady rather than big huge clumps. I’m OK [and] I’m dealing with it. It’s part of the process and I knew that.”
The celebrity was diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer in January, three months after noticing ‘terrible pain’ in her chest which pushed her to consult medical advice.
She told People at the beginning of the year: “It really was throbbing and hurting.
“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.”
After undergoing a mammogram and multiple biopsies, doctors found she had breast cancer. Later, they found more cancer in her lymph nodes.
