According to Radar Online, the 'Iron Man' actress is "carrying a ton of anxiety over this" and is making sure her health is the top priority. Paltrow's worries are valid, according to oncologist Dr Jerome Spunberg, who hasn't personally treated Paltrow. "Her family history presents a clear, inherited risk," he warned in a new report. The insider claims Paltrow is getting tested routinely so "it may come with enough time to treat and beat it" in the unfortunate case of her getting diagnosed.
