Kristy Carlson Romano, known for her roles on Disney Channel shows like «Even Stevens» and «Kim Possible», - announced that she may have «stage cancer» after receiving positive test results for cancer. Kristy appeared in an Instagram video in February 2026, tearfully sharing the news with her fans.
«I received the results just before filming in Florida», - Kristy explained. «My husband’s results came back completely negative. Mine did not… This means I may have stage cancer. The next step is to get a PET scan. I’m fighting with companies to cover it».
The «Cadet Kelly» star also noted that her inspiration for getting checked was the late actor James Van Der Beek, who passed away from colorectal cancer earlier this year.
«I live in Austin and was able to meet James Van Der Beek a few times. His family is amazing», - Kristy said, holding back tears. «They always raised money for the most wonderful charities, and he is no longer with us. Cancer is everywhere. That’s why I took this test».
Kristy is currently 41 years old. She was born on March 20, 1984, in Milford, Connecticut.
As of now, Kristy has not been officially diagnosed with any form of cancer. However, as she mentioned in her Instagram video, she may have «stage cancer», - and she needs to undergo a PET scan.
«This is a very vulnerable time for me», - she continued, a participant in the show «Special Forces: The Toughest Test». «It's time to have strong faith and know that much is in God’s hands. I’m sure some think I’m exaggerating, but I’m not, because cancer is serious, and I have two little girls».
Kristy admitted that this is a «very emotional» time for her, but «when you’re like me, you have to take life day by day and be grateful for all the amazing things around you. That’s why I always try to joke and be funny. Not just because I want to be loved or stay relevant. I don’t share this often. So when my book comes out, you’ll learn a lot more about me».
As Kristy stated, she needs to undergo a PET scan to assess her health condition. Aside from the cancer test results, the «Even Stevens» actress has not publicly discussed other health issues. However, in February 2025, Kristy accidentally suffered a gunshot wound to her right eye while shooting clay pigeons in Austin, Texas. She was hospitalized, and part of the shrapnel was removed from her eye, although one fragment remained and its removal was deemed too risky.
Kristy later also reported that she has another fragment of shrapnel in her forehead
