About 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 109^th 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.

About Fran Drescher
Fran Drescher has been described as a "Russell" -she has the comic timing of Rosalind Russell, the curves of Jane Russell, and the tenacity of a Jack Russell! Fran received two Emmy and two Golden Globe nominations for her portrayal of the lovable 'Miss Fine' on the CBS hit series, The Nanny, a show she also created, and executive produced.

An accomplished film actress, Fran won Esquire Magazine's Five Minute Oscar for her memorable performance in the mockumentary, This is Spinal Tap. She has co-starred in countless films throughout her career with the likes of actors Robin Williams, Dan Aykroyd, Tim Robbins, and Billy Crystal as well as such esteemed directors as Rob Reiner, Milos Forman and Francis Ford Coppola. But she is most proud of her starring role opposite Timothy Dalton in The Beautician and The Beast, a film she also developed and executive produced.

Fran is an accomplished author. Her first book, Enter Whining, was a New York Times best seller which humorously described her experiences as an ordinary girl from Queens making it in the extraordinary world of show business. However there's nothing ordinary about Fran and after bravely winning her battle with uterine cancer, she became inspired to write her second New York Times best seller, Cancer Schmancer, for which she received the prestigious National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship Writer's Award.

Fran is an outspoken healthcare advocate in Washington DC. A special thanks is dedicated to her in the Congressional Record for her lobbying efforts at successfully getting passed, by unanimous consent, Johanna's Law a bi-partisan bill # HR-1245 also known as The Gynecologic Cancer Education and Awareness Act. This focus on gynecologic cancer awareness is the first language of its kind in US history, helping to build the foundation for a more female-friendly and healthier tomorrow.

Among many honors, Fran has been the recipient of the John Wayne Institute's Woman of Achievement Award, the Gilda Award, the City of Hope Woman of the Year Award, the Hebrew University Humanitarian Award, and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine's Spirit of Achievement Award. Most recently she was honored with the City of Hope Spirit of Life Award, which was presented to her by Senator Hillary Clinton.

Most recently, Fran has been honored by the US State Department with the distinguished position of Special Envoy for Women's Gynecologic Health Issues to speak globally to women in Middle Eastern, Eastern European, third world, and emerging nations on prevention and education of women's cancers.

Fran's public speaking efforts encourage women everywhere to take control of their bodies, challenge their physicians and learn the early warning symptoms for women's cancers. To this end, she has launched the Cancer Schmancer Movement, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that all women's cancers be diagnosed while in STAGE 1, when it's most curable. Fran's vision is to galvanize women into one collective voice to alert our elected officials that our vote means more than that of the most powerful corporate lobbyist. Her goal is to live in a time when women's mortality rates drop as their healthcare improves and early cancer detection increases.
