‘Baywatch’ Star Nicole Eggert in ‘Gray Area’ After Completing Cancer Treatment: ‘There’s a Lot of Waiting’

Nicole Eggert indicated that she is in a “gray area” regarding her breast cancer diagnosis in 2023.

“I feel good,” Eggert told People magazine. “I’m kind of in a gray area and I’ve finished my treatment, waiting for more imaging and hopefully maybe surgery.

“And there’s a lot of waiting in this and it’s something that I didn’t really realize and no one really talks about,” she explained. “But the gray area is the hardest because you don’t know what’s going on, and you’re just, if I do the treatment, I feel like I’m doing something productive.”

Eggert added that she’s been on a “wild ride” that she didn’t want to be on at all.

“There are good days. There are bad days. It’s a roller coaster,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s a wild ride that I never wanted to be on. So sometimes I’m good… It is what it is. But I’m just living. I just try to stay positive every day and keep going.”

The 52-year-old actress joined the cast of “Baywatch” for the premiere of the new documentary, “After Baywatch: Moment in The Sun.” Douglas Schwartz, Michael Berk, Ingrid Walter and Carmen Electra were among those in attendance for the premiere. Pamela Anderson was absent that night, not participating in the project.

“It’s a little surreal, but it’s amazing to see everyone come out and how well it’s been received,” Eggert told ET on the red carpet.

The Baywatch star announced in January that she has cancer.

“I have a 12-year-old at home that I’m the sole caregiver for. I have no family. I have nothing,” she told People magazine at the time. “I realized right away that I can’t just give in to this. This is something I have to get through. This is something I have to fight against. She needs me more than anyone,” she said of her daughter, Keegan. Eggert’s other daughter, Dilyn, is 25.

“I’m afraid that my daily hustle, everything that I do to keep everything going, is going to come to a screeching halt if I’m not feeling well or I’m sick or I’m in the hospital or whatever,” she added. “It’s just so overwhelming and I’m doing everything I can to not go into a downward spiral. At night when I go to sleep, I panic because I’m like, who’s going to pay all the bills? Who’s going to do all this?”

Eggert debuted her shaved head in March after cutting her hair short. The TV actress posted a video of the moment she shaved her hair on Instagram. She was joined by her daughter for the big reveal.

The clip, which features the song “Fight For Your Right,” shows Eggert holding a pair of hair clippers and smiling before cutting her already short hair.

“Maybe healing isn’t so much about changing ourselves, but about allowing ourselves to be who we are – Madeleine Eames,” the “Charles in Charge” star captioned the post.

Eggert discovered a lump on her breast during a self-exam in October 2023. At that time, the actress had gained 11 kilos in three months and was suffering from pain in her breast.

“It was really throbbing and painful,” Eggert explained to People magazine. “I went straight to my doctor and she told me to get it looked at right away. But the problem was I just couldn’t get an appointment. Everything was booked up. So I had to wait until the end of November to get it done.”

She was eventually diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer.
