For Christy, the decision to get the test in the first place was partly inspired by a history of cancer in her family and by her late friend James Van Der Beek, who passed away on Feb. 11 at age 48 following a yearslong battle with colorectal cancer.
"I was able to meet James Van Der Beek a bunch. His family's amazing," she shared. "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."
Although the Kim Possible star admitted that she was "nervous and a bit scared" about her screening results, she is also trying to stay positive, highlighting that she has an exciting memoir in the works and a strong support system in her family.
"When you're somebody like me, you gotta take life a day at a time, really be grateful for all the amazing stuff around you," Christy said, adding, "So know that I have a loving family around me to support me, and gonna keep fighting for answers and eventually giving you updates."
