Cancer Schmancer


Fran Drescher walks the "tawk" as she lends her unique voice on Capitol Hill. Her vision for the Cancer Schmancer Movement is to ensure all women's cancers are diagnosed in STAGE 1, when they are most curable. To this end, the Cancer Schmancer Movement will make right what's wrong with women's healthcare through political activism and education. This movement will alert our elected officials that the collective female vote is more powerful than that of the richest corporate lobbyist.

We have already been extremely instrumental in getting the Gynecologic Cancer Education and Awareness Act passed into law by unanimous consent in the 109th Congress. Now, we must ensure the bill gets funded. We also have several initiatives under way at the state and federal levels. In the state of California, we are launching a campaign to include the trans-vaginal ultrasound as part of every woman’s basic gynecologic exam while implementing a national campaign to create an FDA standard for women’s skincare products, which are presently unregulated and filled with carcinogens and suspected carcinogens.
