Actress Robin Givens receives breast cancer test results from The Doctors - two years after losing her sister to the disease

Hollywood actress Robin Givens (pictured center left) has made a name for herself as the star of 1980s sitcom Head Of The Class, and as the ex-wife of boxer Mike Tyson and ex-girlfriend of Brad Pitt. 

But, two years ago, Robin suffered a devastating loss - when her younger sister Stephanie (pictured far left) was diagnosed with breast cancer and passed away, all in the course of one weekend. 

Having a close relative with breast cancer 'doubles a person's risk of developing the disease as well,' and so Robin appeared on CBS medical talk show to undergo mammogram (top right) and ultrasound (bottom right and inset) screenings - and receive her test results in front of the live studio audience.

Robin told The Doctors that she had been afraid of what the results may be, but knew she needed to be screened for the sake of her two sons - and that she wanted to spread awareness of the disease in honor of her sister's memory.
