Eggert announced her diagnosis in January and said she was overcome by fear that it had spread through treatment delays.

She has a grown daughter, Dilyn, but she said she remains the sole caregiver of  younger daughter Keegan.

It immediately made me realize, theres just no succumbing to this, she told People.

Eggert, who also starred in the 1980s sitcom Charles in Charge, later told Inside Edition that the cancer had progressed in her lymph nodes. She expressed regret for getting breast implants while she played lifeguard Summer Quinn on Baywatch from 1992 to 94. She said the augmentation perhaps made the cancer more difficult to detect, the show reported.
