"I was recently diagnosed with DCIS, which stands for ductal carcinoma in situ, which is a form of breast cancer," Fishel said in the Aug. 19 episode. "It is very, very, very early, it's technically stage zero."

 

 

The actress said she plans to have surgery to remove it.

 

 

"I've had to make a lot of decisions over the last couple of days," she said, adding that she only planned to tell her immediate family and close friends but no one else.

She claimed that after reading author Glennon Doyle's writing, she had second thoughts. Fishel paraphrased Doyle's argument, saying that "the place you have the most to learn from is at the very beginning of a story or in the very messy middle of a story."

 

 

Fishel claimed that because she had a phone reminder to make her annual mammography visit, doctors were able to detect the DCIS early.

"I want to share this because I hope that it will encourage anyone to get in there," she said. "If it's time for your appointment, if you've never had an appointment before, get in there. If you have to find out that you have cancer, find out when it's at stage 0 if possible."
