Cara Jade Myers diagnosed with stage-one breast cancer in February
Actor Cara Jade Myers received a stage-one breast cancer diagnosis in February after routine screenings revealed dense tissue during a health check-up last December.
Diagnosis and immediate impact on work
Myers turned down a miniseries and feature film to focus on her health following the news. She underwent a double mastectomy in March and reconstructive surgery in July. The rapid pace of treatment meant she had little time to process the initial shock.
Medical findings from routine screening
A mammogram conducted after her fortieth birthday identified dense tissue in both breasts. Subsequent X-rays, ultrasounds, and biopsies confirmed the stage-one cancer diagnosis. Doctors noted that the quick turnaround for surgery was fortunate for her recovery.
