In addition to Keegan, Eggert is also the mother of daughter Dilyn, 25. She previously told PEOPLE that it’s “not been an easy road” financially for her as a single mother, leading to aGoFundMepage being set up on her behalf to help support the medical costs of her treatment.
“I’ve gotten such an outpouring of love and it makes you feel so good. It changes your whole day and other people just don’t have that,” she added. “So I really want to figure out a way to give back to other parents that are in my situation that aren’t as fortunate.”
Women of all ages are advised to practice “breast self-awareness,” enabling them to familiarize themselves with how their breasts look and feel. This will help in being able to detect changes duringbreast self-examinations.
