Pod Meets World
As we reported … Danielle announced Monday she was fighting breast cancer, though she caught the disease in stage zero during her annual mammogram.
Danielle says a big reason she’s being open with her cancer fight is the hope her story will get women — and men — to get cancer screenings, just in case doctors find something … as they did in her case.
The way Danielle sees it … no one wants to hear bad news from the doc, but early detection is a much better alternative to finding out you have cancer much later in the game … and she’s stressing the importance of being proactive when it comes to personal health.
Danielle plans to get surgery and is convinced she’s going to win her fight against cancer … and if you think she seems chill about the whole thing, get a load of her dog.
Sounds like Danielle’s getting her message across too … some folks are in the replies saying she’s the reason they’re sucking it up and getting a cancer screening.
