"Romano explained that her results are not an official cancer diagnosis, stating that her next step is to get a PET scan, which is primarily used to detect and monitor cancer but can also diagnose other conditions. In her caption, she wrote that she was getting the scan later this week, and postulated that "hopefully it's something easy to treat.""
"She also became friendly with James Van Der Beek after moving to Austin, Texas, which played into her decision. The late actor died on Feb. 11 at the age of 48, following a nearly three-year battle with stage 3 colorectal cancer. "I was able to meet James Van Der Beek a bunch," Romano shared. "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, and cancer is everywhere, which is why I got this test.""
Christy Carlson Romano received positive results from a preliminary cancer screening and will undergo a PET scan for further evaluation. The screening result is not an official diagnosis. Romano’s husband tested negative. Romano expressed emotional concern and noted having two young daughters aged nine and seven. Family history includes both parents having been diagnosed with cancer, with her mother surviving and her father dying, and a maternal grandmother who died of lung cancer. A recent connection to James Van Der Beek and his death from stage 3 colorectal cancer contributed to Romano’s decision to get tested.
