“Baywatch” beauty Nicole Eggert, 54, took to Instagram on Wednesday, March 18, to share that she recently underwent a hysterectomy after doctors detected signs of “more cancer.”
Eggert was diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma breast cancer in December 2023, People reported. The actress underwent two mastectomies — one in October 2024 and another in August 2025.
The actress told the New York Post at the time of her second mastectomy several months ago that her “pathology reports came back clear.” However, with signs of more cancer in recent tests, Eggert decided that a full hysterectomy was the best option.
Nicole Eggert Courageously Shares Hysterectomy Scars
Eggert bravely showed her hysterectomy scars on Instagram, where she captioned the photo with a message of hope for a healthier outcome as she continues forward.
“We can give in to our fear and anxiety, or we can surrender to this great mystery with courage. What a journey,” she wrote. “Test results showed early signs of more cancer. I am grateful to my doctors for keeping such a close eye on me.”
“Full Hysterectomy eliminates at least 7 different types of cancers,” Eggert added. “#hysterectomy #breastcancer #uterinecancer #getscreened #cancerawareness.”
Nicole Eggert Explains Feelings of Loneliness as She Braves Breast Cancer
In December 2025, the actress opened up to People about the loneliness that she’s felt since being diagnosed with cancer. Although she has two daughters, Dilyn and Keegan, Eggert said that because her life-or-death diagnosis is between her and her own body, the inescapability has left her to feel apart from others.
“When I got my diagnosis, I felt alone. It was a moment where there was nobody else dealing with it really except me. Like, I had to deal with this, I had to go through this, I had to walk through this, and only I could do that,” she told the outlet. “It was just this moment of feeling like there’s nothing anybody can do for you. It’s between me and my body now. And so for me and my journey and through treatment, I very much appreciated the time just alone with my body. Really listening to it and learning it and appreciating it and trying to build it back up.”
Eggert added that she receives testing every month and has yet to consider herself in remission. “I struggle with it because I don’t like to use the word ‘remission,'” she told People before doctors found more signs of cancer. “I just say I’m NED, which is no evidence of disease, because that can change at any moment.” With hope, after having recently undergone a full hysterectomy, Eggert will soon be able to say she is finally cancer-free.
