Danielle Fishel bravely shared her breast cancer diagnosis on Monday, August 19 — and her husband didn't waste any time praising the Boy Meets World alum for her public announcement.
"I'm so proud of @daniellefishel for using her platform to raise awareness," Jensen Karp wrote via his Instagram Story on Monday. "We can't miss appointments and [always] need to get checked! She's the strongest person I've ever met. She's got this." The couple have been married since 2018 and are the parents of sons Adler, 5, and Keaton, 2.
Fishel, for her part, shared her diagnosis on the Monday episode of her Pod Meets World podcast, which she co-hosts with her former Boy Meets World co-stars Will Friedle and Rider Strong.
"I was recently diagnosed with DCIS, which stands for ductal carcinoma in situ, which is a form of breast cancer," the actress revealed. "It is very, very, very early. It's technically stage zero. To be specific … I was diagnosed with high-grade DCIS with micro-invasion."
Fishel went on to explain that "the only reason" the cancer was detected so early on was "because the day I got my text message that my yearly mammogram had come up, I made the appointment."
The podcast host noted that because the doctors "found it so, so, so early," she's "going to be fine." Fishel added that while she has many decisions ahead of her to make in terms of her treatment plan, there is a "world of resources" out there.
She further encouraged all of her podcast listeners and fans to visit their doctors — no matter how busy their lives are.
"If you have to find out you have cancer, find out at stage zero if possible," Fishel noted.
