So pour yourself a cup of tea, put your feet up, and let's dish. New talk show for Fran Drescher founder of Cancer Schmancer Movement. Everything that I learned the hard way and then some. But luckily, Miguel went out on good terms with Andy, so the book is closed happily. With her trademark humour, Fran tells of her indefatigable search for answers and the cancer diagnosis that she ultimately beat. All of it: the laughter, the sorrow, the happiness and the horror. What I learned about myself, the depth of my relationships, and cancer - tests, treatment, recovery, and follow-up - could fill a book. Was I going to die? Would I require radiation? How much does a uterus weigh? Maybe I wouldn't need that diet after all.

I was told I had cancer and would need a radical hysterectomy. Just as I was getting serious with a man 16 years my junior (What's the matter? He's very mature!) my worst fears were confirmed. Doctors are fallible, so open your mouth! Thank God I did, because my attitude saved my life. Finally, after insisting on more tests, I proved that my body was telling the truth - something was terribly wrong. More than one told me I had a pre-menopausal condition common in middle-aged women ( middle-WHAT?). The personal story of Fran Drescher, the New York-accented star of The Nanny, includes humorous childhood family stories, early career experiences, and anecdotes about her daily life in Hollywood. Every doctor I saw held a different view. And so began my two-year, eleven-doctor odyssey in search of a diagnosis and cure.ĭon't let what happened to me happen to you.

I wanted to feel free as a bird, but instead was weighed down by troubling symptoms. As the popularity of Cancer Schmancer grew, Drescher realized a need for improvement in women's health care in America and started the Cancer Schmancer. Who knew when I was a chubby kid from Queens what a roller coaster my life was going to be! After The Nanny ended, I divorced my husband, started living on my own, and began dating for the first time since high school. Here I'll be telling it like it was - and is - so you won't have to go through what I did. All I've got to say is, to hell with cancer! This book's about schmancer! Laughing at the crazy things life offers even when it's biting you on the ass.
