What did Christy Carlson Romano say about her cancer screening test?
Taking to her Instagram handle, Christy shared an emotional video and revealed she and her husband, Brendan Rooney, decided to get screened because cancer has been haunting her family ever since her mom battled it.
She stated, "I live in Austin, and I was able to meet James Van Der Beek a bunch. His family's amazing. He's a pillar of our community in Texas. They always were raising money for the most amazing charities, and he's not with us anymore. Cancer is everywhere, which is why I got this test. It's time to have a strong sense of faith and know that it's in God's hands—most of it. I'm sure people think I'm overreacting, but I'm not, because cancer is pretty serious and I have two little girls.
