Around the same time, Busy lost her longtime friend and Dawson’s Creek co-star, James Van Der Beek, to colon cancer at 48. The results concerned her doctor, who told her that she had a lesion on her brain. He instructed her to get a follow-up MRI as early as possible to get a better look at the lesion, and she complied. “‘This is a real tumor, and it’s inside your brain. And Busy, it’s got to come out,’” Busy remembers her doctor saying on the phone. “I was hyperventilating and trying to breathe.” Comment now
