Danielle Fishel, known for her iconic role as Topanga on the 1990s sitcom Boy Meets World, revealed on her Pod Meets World podcast that doctors discovered breast cancer during a routine screening. However, Fishel says an early diagnosis means the 43-year-old actress is expected to fully recover.
In a recent episode, Fishel informed listeners that she was found to have Ductal carcinoma in situ (Dcis), or stage zero breast cancer. This early detection means the cancerous cells have not spread outside of the breast ducts. “They found it so early that I’m going to be fine,” assured Fishel. She plans to have surgery to remove the growth, and will work with a team of doctors to determine the best follow-up care.
The actress credits regular cancer screenings with catching her case at such an early and treatable stage. “If you have to find out that you have cancer, find...

Danielle Fishel has been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer at the age of 43.
The “Boy Meets World” star — who famously played Topanga on the ’90s show and in its sequel series “Girl Meets World” — announced her diagnosis on her rewatch podcast “Pod Meets World.”
“I was recently diagnosed with Dcis, which stands for ductal carcinoma in situ, which is a form of breast cancer,” she revealed on Monday’s episode. “It’s very, very, very early, it’s technically stage zero.”

Most of the cast of “Boy Meets World” reunited Saturday at ’90s Con in Tampa, Florida — with the notable exception of Ben Savage, who played the lead role of Cory on the show. Danielle Fishel, who played Topanga, appeared to address Savage’s absence without naming him specifically.
She said to the audience, “when you really commit to a relationship, when you really commit to this idea that we are always going to be in each other’s lives … that commitment to a relationship is such a lesson for everybody.”
In 2020, Fishel and costars Rider Strong and Will Friedle told Variety that Savage had apparently “ghosted” them. As Fishel put it, “He just kind of disappeared from our lives.”
Up to that point, Fishel and Savage were especially close — Savage even visited the Nicu after Fishel gave birth to her son prematurely in 2019. While speaking Saturday, the actress didn’t...
