In the wake of the announcement of her diagnosis, Clea Shearer has received thousands of well-wishes via Instagram. Among those are countless celebrities, including celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe, who wrote, "Clea sending all the love and prayers your way. I have been through this twice with my mom and sister and they are happy and healthy and you will be as well." Former "The Bachelorette" star Ali Manno also offered her support, promising, "Here for you every step of the way."
Shearer also told People that "Dead to Me" and "Married ... with Children" star Christina Applegate had been incredibly helpful throughout the experience. In fact, Shearer revealed that Applegate, "was my first phone call and my second and the last few, too." Applegate is a breast cancer survivor herself, and in 2017, Applegate removed her ovaries and fallopian tubes to prevent ovarian cancer. "She's just incredible and has had a very similar situation, so she's been a tremendous support."
Since her first announcement, Shearer has taken to The Home Edit's Instagram Stories to thank everyone for their kind words and to reiterate that while she's nervous about the surgery, she knows she's got this. "Cancer should be embarrassed ... because it has to deal with me," she said. Per her original statement, Shearer is determined to make this experience a "purposeful" one, which serves to inspire anyone in the same boat. Well, count us inspired — and wishing Shearer a speedy recovery!
