Nicole Eggert, 52, is seen for FIRST TIME since revealing breast cancer diagnosis as Baywatch beauty steps out for a sandwich
Nicole Eggert was spotted for the first time in public since revealing her breast cancer diagnosis.
The Baywatch alum, 52, cut a casual figure in an olive green hoodie and ripped denim pants as she made her way to a Jersey Mike’s sub sandwich shop in Los Angeles on Monday.
The star carried a beverage and a sandwich bag while walking the sidewalk in a pair of trendy Converse sneakers.
She traded in her spectacles for a set of designer shades at one point, as she rocked a chic crossbody bag for her low-key ensemble.
The outing follows the news that Nicole’s celebrity friends have contributed to help her reach a $100,000 goal on GoFundMe, covering the increasing medical expenses.

Real Housewife Of Beverly Hills Kyle Richards contributed $1,000, while RHONY alum Bethenny Frankel put in $500.
Mindy Molinary, a good friend of Nicole and the one behind the GoFundMe for her cancer treatment, shared on the page that the actress is going through some financial challenges.
‘It’s been a long time since Charles in Charge and Baywatch,’ she wrote, referencing Nicole’s shows.
‘As a single mom, she’s had to struggle financially to raise her two daughters. She still has a little one at home and she is terrified of not being able to afford the treatments and surgery necessary while also keeping a roof over their heads.’
Mindy added that Nicole has ‘lost both her parents and doesn’t have any family to lean on or help her with this situation.’
The actress, who made her first public appearance in 18 months last year in June, opened up about her health battle during an interview with People published last week.
After gaining 25 pounds and experiencing left breast pain since October, the actress underwent a mammogram and three biopsies, leading to a diagnosis of stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer.
‘It really was throbbing and hurting,’ Nicole explained. ‘I immediately went to my general practitioner and she told me I had to immediately go get it looked at.’

However, she added, ‘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.’
Nicole admitted, ‘This hasn’t been a breezy sail through life. I always read inspirational quotes and corny stuff, but it gets me through.’
She went on to say that her ext steps involve surgery to remove the cancer, along with chemotherapy and radiation. She also mentioned it was unclear if the cancer has spread.
The mother to daughters Dilyn, 25, and Keegan, 12, confessed that her greatest fear is not being there for her children in the future.
