Sex and the City's Cynthia Nixon Beat Cancer

Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon revealed on Good Morning America on Tuesday that she had breast cancer two years ago.

Thankfully the cancer was successfully removed and after undergoing therapy, Nixon is fully recovered.

“I didn’t want to make it public while I was going through it”, said Nixon.

The 42-year old actress’ mom overcame two bouts of cancer. “As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, knowing my personal risk made me more aware and more empowered when I faced my own diagnosis,” Nixon said.
