Cynthia Nixon Reveals She Had Breast Cancer

Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon was on Good Morning America yesterday and spoke of her breast cancer battle she went through in 2006. After going to the doctor for a routine mammogram, her doc gave her the news that she had breast cancer.

Even though Nixon admits to feeling “scared … I was very cognizant of it,” she said. “If it’s going to happen, this is the best way for it to happen - that it’s found so early, and we can just get right on it.” Nixon — who said she kept her diagnosis private because “I didn’t want paparazzi at the hospital” — revealed that her mother had also overcome breast cancer.

“As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor,” knowing my personal risk made me more aware and more empowered when I faced my own diagnosis,” she said.
