Disney alum Christy Carlson Romano is getting candid about a frightening new health scare.
The “Even Stevens” star revealed in an emotional Instagram video, posted Feb. 17, that she and her husband, Brendan Rooney, recently underwent precautionary cancer screenings because the disease runs in her family.
“My husband’s came back completely negative. Mine did not come back negative,” Romano, 41, tearfully said in the clip. “So basically what that means is I may have stageable cancer.”
The mom of two said she was in “disbelief” over the results — but emphasized that they were not an official diagnosis.
Her next step is getting a PET scan. The specialized imaging test uses a small amount of radioactive material to detect signs of cancer, heart disease and certain brain disorders, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
