Famous Women Who Battled Gynecological Cancers

Fran Drescher
Fran Drescher’s signature cackle is as annoying as it is identifiable. But it was no laughing matter when, after two years of being misdiagnosed, Drescher found out she had uterine cancer. She immediately had a hysterectomy to treat the disease and was then given a clean bill of health with no further treatment needed. The “Nanny” star wrote about her battle with the disease in her book “Cancer Schmancer” and on the seventh anniversary of her operation, Drescher started the Cancer Schmancer Movement, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that all women’s cancers be diagnosed while in Stage 1, the most curable stage.
