Bond girl Talisa Soto is beating breast cancer

Actors Benjamin Bratt and Talisa Soto tend to shy away from the limelight. Yet he recently revealed his Bond girl wife's breast cancer diagnosis to encourage women to get regular screenings.

"This is something I typically would keep close-held," Benjamin said. 

"But through the pandemic, self-exam, and then by going to her yearly mammogram, she discovered that she was positive for breast cancer.

"It's important to get your screenings yearly, that you have to self-advocate for yourself and take care of yourself. Not just eating well, but you have to get to the doctor and make these exams a part of your regular life.

"She's doing great. The medication rocks the hormonal system a little bit, but the good news is she was found to be cancer-free at this point. So we're just on guard to make sure it doesn't come back.

"I immediately got on getting my colonoscopy, which I had held off for too many years. So it's something to be thoughtful about".

The pair married in 2002 and have a 19-year-old daughter, Sophia, and a 16-year-old son, Mateo.

Everyone at For Bond Fans Only wishes Talisa and Benjamin all the best.
