2. Cynthia Nixon
When Cynthia Nixon was diagnosed with breast cancer, she decided to keep the news to herself. She was afraid of the paparazzi following her to the hospital and photographing her between treatments. She really wanted her privacy because she knows how tough breast cancer can be: she watched her own mother battle the disease when she was only twelve years old. The Sex and the City alum found out that she was sick when she went in for a routine mammogram and was called back in for a follow up appointment. They were able to detect it early and Nixon refused to let cancer get in the way of her life. She even scheduled her surgery on her day off from her play so she wouldn’t miss any work. This is just another reminder that everyone should go in for regular check-ups so they can stay on top of their health.
