Romano, 41, a Milford native who now lives in Texas, is best known for her roles on Disney Channel shows "Even Stevens" and "Kim Possible."

Romano said she and her husband both recently had cancer screenings due to her family's medical history.

"My husband's came back completely negative," she said. "Mine did not (come) back negative."
