Danielle Fishel, known for her role as Topanga Lawrence on Boy Meets World, announced her breast cancer diagnosis on her podcast Pod Meets World.
Fishel was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early-stage, non-life-threatening form of breast cancer classified as stage zero.
Her specific diagnosis is "high-grade DCIS with micro-invasion," indicating early signs of potential spread.
Fishel emphasized that early detection through a timely mammogram was crucial in catching her cancer at such an early stage.
Initially planning to keep her diagnosis private, Fishel was inspired by Glennon Doyle's words to share her experience publicly.
She reassured listeners that she will undergo surgery to remove the cancer and follow-up treatment, remaining optimistic about her recovery.
Fishel hopes her story will encourage others to prioritize early detection and learn from her journey.
Beyond her diagnosis, Fishel is married to producer Jensen Karp, is a mother of two, and is known for her roles in Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World.
