is life changing," the Nurse Jackie star told Health magazine, recalling her 2003

chose to keep her diagnosis a secret. "It was very important for me to keep my
diagnosis under the radar, even from the cast and crew of The Sopranos,
because very well-meaning people would have driven me crazy asking, 'How are
you feeling?' she said in the 2008 Health interview. "I would have
wanted to say, 'I'm scared, I don't feel good, and my hair is falling out’." In the years since her remission, Falco has served as a spokeswoman for the Y-Me Breast Cancer Organization
