Danielle Fishel has breast cancer, found ‘very, very, very early’: ‘I’m going to be fine’
As a lifelong connoisseur of both the small and silver screens, I have been moved by the resilience and courage displayed by Danielle Fishel in her recent health journey. Having followed her career since her days as Topanga on “Boy Meets World,” it is heartening to see her face a challenge with grace, determination, and unwavering optimism.
Actor Danielle Fishel is meeting a health challenge head-on, predicting she will be “fine.”
43-year-old actress from “Boy Meets World” revealed on her “Pod Meets World” podcast this week that she has been diagnosed with DCIS, or ductal carcinoma in situ, a type of breast cancer. She explained that the condition is extremely early and is classified as Stage 0.
During a regular mammography exam, Fishel discovered she had Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS), a type of breast cancer affecting the milk ducts. She strongly advises women not to overlook this screening.
“I was told that my condition is ‘high-grade DCIS with microinvasion,’ which means I have a lot of it and some has spread slightly. But don’t worry, I’ll be alright.”
As a film enthusiast diving into the complex world of health, I’d like to share an insightful piece of information about breast cancer: High-grade cancers are known for their rapid growth rate, high chance of recurrence post-surgery, and increased likelihood of developing into invasive breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, this “invasion” term specifically refers to whether these cancer cells have ventured beyond the breast ducts or surrounding lobules.
Fishel will have the cancer removed surgically and then have follow-up treatments.
The actress known for portraying Topanga Lawrence on the ’90s sitcom revealed she initially planned to keep silent if faced with a similar diagnosis, but would share her experience once she had gone through it. However, she discovered that true learning often happens at the start or most challenging part of a story, rather than just listening to the polished accounts people give when their hardships have ended.
In my case, the fact that I was able to detect my cancer at such an early stage, when it was still classified as Stage 0, can be attributed to the simple act of promptly scheduling an appointment after receiving a text about my overdue mammogram results.
“Given how packed my schedule is with managing 50 jobs, taking care of two kids, a husband, and the household, it might seem simpler to skip my doctor’s appointments. However, I prioritize these visits because I attended my mammogram last year and it was beneficial for me then. So, I believe it’s important to keep up with these check-ups this year as well.”
“Rather than choosing the straightforward route, they opted for something a bit more unconventional – and while it felt a tad frustrating at first, I’ve come to realize that finding this solution early on is actually beneficial.”
To clarify, she still needs to carry out additional tasks, including consultations with oncologists and various experts. These meetings are crucial for making the significant choices ahead. Fishel mentioned that due to these obligations, there may be some missed episodes in her podcast while she attends to these matters.
