Tylo's Baby Battles Cancer

First, she was fired from her role on Melrose Place for becoming pregnant. Now, Hunter Tylo has found out her four-month old daughter has a rare form of eye cancer.

Katya Tylo suffers from retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that afflicts about one in every 15,000 people. It most often hits children under the age of 5.

The actress says there are many treatments for the cancer, and the cure rate is extremely high.

Hunter Tylo won a $4.9 million settlement after she was fired from the popular prime-time soap opera for becoming pregnant with Izabella, her third child. A judge upheld that decision earlier this month.
