Actress Christina Applegate will continue shooting her U.S. TV series Samantha Who? as she undergoes reconstructive breast surgery following a double mastectomy.
The 36-year-old star revealed on Tuesday she had both breasts removed after being diagnosed with cancer last month.
Applegate - who was given the all-clear following the operation - is now scheduled to undergo reconstructive surgery over the next eight months.
A spokesperson for the star insists she will be "on a normal shooting schedule", adding that the procedure "is not affecting production".
The actress had already completed filming five episodes for the upcoming season of her hit comedy show before stopping for a summer break at the end of June.
An ABC spokesperson confirms: "They're on a scheduled hiatus and she'll be back next month. It's business as usual."
