Eggert initially found and felt a lump in her breast during a self-check. She said she originally thought some of her symptoms were from menopause.
“It really was throbbing and hurting,” she said.
“I have panics where I’m like, just get this out of me,” she added.
Her friend started a Go-Fund-Me page to help support the single mother through her treatment.
Eggert, who hails from California, is known for playing a lifeguard in the hit series Baywatch.
She portrayed the character Summer Quinn alongside the likes of David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson.
