‘Boy Meets World’ star Danielle Fishel reveals breast cancer diagnosis

Actress Danielle Fishel has revealed she is battling breast cancer. The Boy Meets World star, 43, shared that she was recently diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).

Fishel shared the news of her diagnosis on her re-watch podcast Pod Meets World, which she co-hosts with her former co-stars Rider Strong and Will Friedle.  Said Fishel: “So I would like to share something with our listeners … I was recently diagnosed with DCIS, which stands for ductal carcinoma in situ, which is a form of breast cancer. It is very, very, very early. It’s technically stage zero. To be specific, just because I like too much information all the time, I was diagnosed with high-grade DCIS with micro-invasion. I’m going to be fine. I’m having surgery to remove it. I’m going to be on some follow-up treatment. I’ve had to make a lot of decisions over the last couple of days.”

Fishel added: “The only reason I caught this cancer when it is still stage zero is because the day I got my text message that my yearly mammogram had come up, I made the appointment … For some reason I had always thought [if I were diagnosed with cancer] I would suffer in silence. I would get the diagnosis, I would not tell anyone. I would tell only my small group and then I would just suck it up. And then when I’m on the other side of it then I would tell people. But the place you have the most to learn from is that at the very beginning of a story or in the very messy middle of a story. My first instinct when I was diagnosed was to do that clam up thing … and then what I realized is the more people I talk to, the more people have their own experiences.”

The actress and her husband Jensen Karp have two sons: Adler, 5, and Keaton, 3.
