Christy Carlson Romano, Former Disney Star, Reveals Positive Cancer Screening Results
Christy Carlson Romano received a positive cancer screening result prompted by family history and a friend's death; she will undergo a PET scan to clarify her diagnosis.
- Christy Carlson Romano announced on Instagram that she received a positive cancer screening and will get a PET scan later this week to clarify the finding.
- Because of a family cancer history, Romano said she and her husband Brendan Rooney sought screenings after her parents had cancer and her late friend James Van Der Beek died at 48.
- Romano said she is fighting with companies to get the scan covered, noting `I’ve been fighting with companies to get that covered`.
- Romano vowed to keep fighting for answers and update social media followers, saying it is "a very vulnerable time for me" and she has a loving family around her to support her.
- The American Cancer Society notes that some screenings are typically covered under the Affordable Care Act, and insurance providers should be checked, as guidelines depend on age and risk.
