Eggert, who was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, has been candid about her battle with the illness.
The 'Charles in Charge' star revealed in February that she suffers from a "very rare" condition called invasive cribriform carcinoma.
She shared that the breast implants she got at the age of 19 made it a difficult process for an early diagnosis of the condition.
"When I was on 'Baywatch', it was very in to be very thin with big boobs. I was the opposite, so I was wearing this red bathing suit that was flattening me, the one piece, and it just, it was like, 'Oh, man,'" she said.
"There's nothing you can do. You can't stuff it," added Eggert who starred on 'Baywatch' as Summer Quinn from 1992 to 1994.
The actress also explained the chemotherapy port implantation she got in February. The implant makes the process of delivery of chemodrugs into her bloodstream easier.
Following her cancer diagnosis, one of Eggert's friends organized a GoFundMe fundraiser with a $100,000 goal to meet the medical expenses and cover the cost of treatments.
