Christy Carlson Romano Celebrates Positive Cancer Scan

The Special Forces: World's Toughest Test contestant said: 'Both my parents had cancer. My mom beat it, my dad eventually didn't, my grandmother on my mom's side had lung cancer and died from that. I got the results back a little bit before filming down in Florida [last December]'

Romano is 'nervous and a bit scared' ahead of a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging scan she scheduled for 'later this week' and she hopes the cancer is 'something easy to treat'

It's a 'very vulnerable time' for the Connecticut-born brunette, who was accidentally shot in the face with shotgun shrapnel '367 days' ago while shooting clay pigeons at a local range 

Romano still has one bullet fragment lodged behind her eye and another fragment still in her forehead because they were too risky for doctors to remove surgically 

The We're Alive: Descendants actress said Tuesday: 'I'm sure people think I'm overreacting but I'm not because cancer's pretty f***ing serious and I have two little girls. This is a very emotional post'

Romano and her husband Brendan Rooney will celebrate the seventh birthday of their daughter Sophia this Wednesday, and they're also proud parents of nine-year-old daughter Isabella (pictured in January)

'You got this my beautiful wife,' the 43-year-old retired US Marine commented. 'We will figure this out and destroy any problem that comes your way. I love you beyond words'

The PodCo co-founder also has the support from her sizable mom group, who dressed up in matching silver outfits to see The Backstreet Boys perform at The Sphere in Las Vegas last weekend

Romano will next portray Nicole in Ryan Landels' Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True - premiering later this year on the Hallmark Channel - alongside Lacey Chabert, Richard Kind and Travis Van Winkle

The Kim Possible alum is best known for portraying troubled Shia LaBeouf's (R, pictured in 2002) onscreen perfectionist sister Ren Stevens in Matt Dearborn's comedy series Even Stevens, which aired for three seasons on Disney spanning 2000-2003
