Christy Carlson Romano Reveals Positive Cancer Screening With PET Scan Set This Week

She framed the post as a push for early screening, stating that no formal diagnosis exists.

Overview

  • The 41-year-old actress said her husband’s screening was negative, while hers “did not come back negative.”
  • She said she is scheduled for a PET scan later this week and is disputing insurance coverage for the test.
  • Reports note that a positive screening is preliminary and a PET scan helps identify and stage potential disease.
  • Romano cited a strong family history of cancer and the recent death of James Van Der Beek as reasons she pursued testing.
  • She described this as a very vulnerable period, said she is nervous, highlighted support from her family and two young daughters, and promised updates.
