“If youve never had an appointment before, get in there.
If you have to find out you have cancer, find out at stage zero if possible.

It is very, very, very early.
Its technically stage 0.
Im having surgery to remove it.
It is usually discovered via a mammogram and has a low risk of spreading and becoming life-threatening.
Treatment options include surgery, as well as radiation and hormone therapy.
I went to my mammogram last year.
I was fine last year.
I dont need to go again this year.
She added, They found it so, so, so early that Im going to be fine.
I hope it will encourage anyone to get in there [and get checked].
If its time for your appointment, if youve never had an appointment before, get in there.
If you have to find out you have cancer, find out at stage zero if possible.
Strong and Friedle also voiced their support for Fishel following her diagnosis.
And were so glad you didnt because you are going to be fine.
You might have some sucky days, but were here for you.
