The 'Sex and the City' actress wanted to keep her battle against the life-threatening disease secret but confined in her co-star as she was with her when she got the diagnosis.
Cynthia said: "I kept it very quiet. I told Kristin because she happened to be at my house."
Recalling the incident, Kristin said: "She sits me down in Cynthia fashion and says, 'I have something to tell you. I have breast cancer.' "
Cynthia says Kristin was in shock when she told her and she had to reassure the brunette beauty everything would be fine.
Cynthia told US TV show 'Extra': "She stood up in her chair. I couldn't get her down until I told her everything I was doing and assured her everything was going to be OK."
The mother-of-two - who reprises her role as lawyer Miranda Hobbs in the upcoming 'Sex and the City: The Movie' - quietly underwent treatment and she is now celebrating her one-year anniversary of being cancer-free.
Although Cynthia accepted the news she has previously admitted lover Christine Marinoni took it quite badly.
She said: "My girlfriend was the one doing the eating. She was in a panic - and just trying to calm herself down any way she could."
The 42-year-old actress began dating Christine four years ago after splitting with Danny Mozes, the father of her children.
