The internet can feel loud most days, but sometimes it surprises you. Every now and then, kindness takes over the scroll. That’s what happened this week for Nicole Eggert, the actress so many remember as Summer Quinn on “Baywatch.“ On November 11, 2025, the 53-year-old shared a short, emotional post about healing and learning to trust her body after her cancer diagnosis. Within minutes, the comments turned into a stream of hearts, prayers, and words of encouragement. Take a look at the Intagram from @_nicole_eggert: With Thanksgiving just weeks away, her timing made the message hit even harder. It landed like a quiet nudge to check on the people we love and to go easy on ourselves heading into the holidays. She wrote: “Some days I freak out on what my body has gone thru And then I remember how she showed up for me And keeps showing up for me So, I put all my faith in her hands She’s got this.” In that post, Eggert looked back on everything her body has endured and how she’s trying to trust its strength. The photo was simple. Her tone is steady. She talked about choosing faith in herself instead of fear on the harder days. Anyone who’s followed her story over the last two years understood exactly what she meant. Nicole Eggert’s Diagnosis and Surgery Timeline Eggert was diagnosed with stage 2 cribriform carcinoma, a rare form of breast cancer, in December 2023 after she found a painful lump during a self-exam. She told People about it the following January and has shared pieces of her journey ever since. This past summer, she confirmed she’d undergone a second mastectomy with reconstruction. In an August IG update, she posted about the procedure with her usual mix of honesty and humor. Since then, Eggert has continued to post small check-ins about recovery. Coverage from People noted that pathology results were encouraging. She’s been balancing motherhood, advocacy, and rest while listening to her doctors. What keeps people coming back to her page is the opening about the waiting, the fatigue, and the small wins. It all feels genuine. The replies under her latest post show that connection. One follower wrote, “You’re a beauty and an inspiration, always.” Another said, “We love you, Nic. Keep fighting.” And @shelmerson added, “God bless you. You are stronger than you know.” Eggert has been part of pop culture for decades, from “Charles in Charge” to “Baywatch,” but what stands out now is how much of this chapter she’s chosen to share. She’s spoken about being a single mom leaning on her daughters, Dilyn and Keegan, and about learning to accept help when she needs it.
