“Boy Meets World” actress Danielle Fishel revealed that she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
The 43-year-old actress, who shared the news in the latest episode of her “Pod Meets World” podcast, said “learning from the experiences of others” motivated her to share the diagnosis.
“I was recently diagnosed with DCIS, which stands for ductal carcinoma in situ, which is a form of breast cancer,” Fishel said in the Aug. 19 episode. “It is very, very, very early, it’s technically stage zero.”
breastcancer.org, DCIS is breast cancer at the earliest stage. It is not life-threatening, “but if you’re diagnosed with DCIS, you have a higher risk of developing invasive breast cancer later in life.”
Podcast co-hosts Rider Strong and Will Friedle, who starred in “Boy Meets World,” were among the first people to know about Fishel’s diagnosis.
“We love you, and you know that we’ve got you. Whatever you need, we’re here,” said Friedle. “You are going to be fine, and you might have some sucky days coming up, but we’re here for you.”
