Husband Jensen Karp Reacts to Danielle Fishel’s Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Danielle Fishel’s husband, Jensen Karp, lauded the “Boy Meets World” alum following her breast cancer diagnosis announcement.

“I’m so proud of @daniellefishel for using her platform to raise awareness. We can’t miss appointments and we all need to get checked! She’s the strongest person I’ve ever met. She’s got this,” Karp, a producer, expressed on his Instagram Story Monday.

Karp, 44, married to Fishel, 43, since 2018, and they share two sons: Adler, 5, and Keaton, 2.

The former rapper shared his reaction after the “Girl Meets World” actress publicly disclosed her diagnosis on Monday’s episode of her podcast, “Pod Meets World.”

“I was recently diagnosed with DCIS, which stands for ductal carcinoma in situ, a form of breast cancer,” she informed her co-hosts and former co-stars, Rider Strong and Will Friedle.

Fishel clarified she was “diagnosed with high-grade DCIS with micro-invasion,” an “early form of breast cancer” occurring when “the cells lining the milk ducts in the breast turn malignant but stay in place,” per Johns Hopkins Medicine.

“It is very, very, very early. It’s technically stage zero,” she explained, assuring she will be fine after surgery to remove the cancerous cells. “I’m going to be on some follow-up treatment. I’ve had to make a lot of decisions over the last couple of days,” she added.

Fishel urged her listeners to not skip appointments and continue getting checked.

“The only reason I caught this cancer when it is still stage zero is because the day I got my text message that my yearly mammogram had come up, I made the appointment. They found it so, so, so early that I’m going to be fine. I hope it will encourage anyone to get in there. If you have to find out you have cancer, find out at stage zero if possible,” she shared.

Fishel also reassured her listeners that she discovered a “world of resources” since her diagnosis.

“For some reason, I had always thought [if I were diagnosed with cancer] I would suffer in silence. I would get the diagnosis, I would not tell anyone. I would tell only my small group and then I would just suck it up. And then when I’m on the other side of it, then I would tell people,” she said.
