Cancer Schmancer is name
that one could easily associate with Fran Drescher; loved by millions for her
television role as ‘The Nanny’, this humorous, elegant, beautiful, fun loving
celebrity has a more serious side to her life and mission. Listen in to Voice
America’s Health and Wellness Channel Friday 26 October 12 noon PT USA on Grace
Gawler’s Navigating the Cancer Maze to hear about Fran’s cancer journey and how
her life adversity launched a new movement in cancer awareness.
What connects Fran Drescher and
Grace Gawler? Both women have experienced great life adversities. Both women
are using their lives to help others through the course of early cancer
diagnosis.
A survivor of uterine cancer; Fran Drescher brings a new beacon of hope; a message to all women to trust their intuition when they ‘know’ that something is desperately wrong with their health when a health professional insists they are OK. This is Fran Drescher’s story and it can happen to any of us. Fran Dresher was misdiagnosed and mistreated for a peri-menopausal condition she did not have. Her doctors told her she was experiencing symptoms because of a long list of reasons –
A survivor of uterine cancer; Fran Drescher brings a new beacon of hope; a message to all women to trust their intuition when they ‘know’ that something is desperately wrong with their health when a health professional insists they are OK. This is Fran Drescher’s story and it can happen to any of us. Fran Dresher was misdiagnosed and mistreated for a peri-menopausal condition she did not have. Her doctors told her she was experiencing symptoms because of a long list of reasons –
she was too young, too thin, and another reason given was
that she ate too much spinach! Fran was prescribed hormones to treat the
symptoms, but her doctors made one fundamental error – they did not order proper
diagnostic tests. Fran says; at the time, I didn’t know to ask why or why not,
because I was just happy to be told I was too young for any other condition!
Eventually an endometrial biopsy confirmed Fran’s greatest fear; she had
cancer. It had taken two years and eight doctors before finally being told that
she had a gynecologic cancer.
Fran says: “I felt betrayed by not only by my own body, but the medical community.”
In 2002, Fran wrote Cancer Schmancer, to tell her story of survival so what happened to her wouldn’t happen to others. “After I went on my book tour” she says, I realized that what happened to me had happened to so many women like me. And so it was then I realized the book was not the end but rather the beginning of a life mission to improve women's healthcare in America.”

Using her own experience and new found awareness, Fran created not only the book of the same name, but the Cancer Schmancer Movement and Cancer Schmancer Foundation. The Movement aims to of help transform women from patients into medical consumers, and to shift priority from searching for a cancer cure towards prevention and early detection of cancer; a timely message to a nation where cancer diagnosis dominates lives, families and communities. In the U.S. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. BUT THERE IS HOPE… Because when cancer is found early, 90% SURVIVE!
Every woman, regardless of age, race or socioeconomic background deserves to have the opportunity of survival.
Cancer Schmancer’s message inspired by Fran Dreschers experience is clear; by catching cancer early and by shifting focus from just searching for a cure to education, prevention and early detection, lives can be saved TODAY. By empowering ourselves and the women we love to become medical consumers; to listen to our bodies, ask the right questions of our doctors and seek second opinions, we can prevent cancer and, if we still end up with it, detect cancer in its earliest stages. Cancer Schmancer is perhaps one of the most innovative Cancer movements in the world with a new message that sheds light on a method that works to end mortality due to late stage diagnosis. And that’s EARLY DETECTION. Join us in saving lives.
Fran says, “I got famous, then I got cancer, and now I live to talk about it. Sometimes the best gifts come in the ugliest packages. Please lock elbows with me and join the Cancer Schmancer Movement so together we can do what needs to be done, so less of us will die prematurely.”
Recently Fran Drescher has begun helping children to become aware of how attitudes shape life through her delightful picture book called ‘Being Wendy’.
