NICOLE Eggert opened up about how exhausted she feels battling breast cancer alongside other health issues.
The Baywatch star, 53, admitted that she’s absolutely ‘sick’ of having to undergo so many surgeries and treatments for her breast cancer alongside going through the menopause.

“I’m so sick of it,” she admitted when chatting to Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle and Rider Strong on podcast ‘Pod Meets World’.
The trio all starred in Boy Meets World, where Nicole also once guest-starred.
“I have two good weeks out of every month and the other two weeks I’m at the treatment center. So it’s really all consuming.”
The health update comes after Nicole revealed that just last week she had to undergo a second mastectomy since her breast cancer battle began, followed by reconstructive surgery.
Danielle asked Nicole the somewhat rhetorical question: “So even when you’re feeling good you’re still not feeling that great.”
Which Nicole agreed with, saying: “One hundred percent.”
“I still have surgeries ahead of me next month that I’m excited about. I really took my time with that because I just didn’t know what was the right route for me.
“There are just so many opinions and options and I’m someone that needs to sleep on it so I took a year to listen to everybody, digest it all . . . It’s a big decision.”
Nicole’s daughters Dilyn, 27, and Keegan, 14, have been incredibly supportive and uplifting during the star’s health battle, despite her eldest living far away.
“My oldest lives in New York so she didn’t have to witness a lot of it like my young one did but they’re supportive, they bring me to a place of taking me outside myself too, because when you’re a mom it gives you purpose and keeps you from feeling sorry for yourself.
“You have stuff to do and you have this role to play. Life is so much bigger than yourself when you’re a mom or a parent.”
Nicole Eggert featured on Baywatch through 1992 to 1994 in seasons three and four as one of the program’s many lifeguards.
She was originally supposed to appear on a Baywatch spin-off instead, but ended up on the core show.
Nicole then later returned to Baywatch for the reunion film Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding (2003).
