A lot has been happening for actress **Fran Drescher** since working in that bridal shop in Flushing Queens ...when her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes! (You know I had to.)

Not only did *The Nanny* star become a house-hold name in the 90s, take part in a number of movies and animated series including the *Hotel Transylvania* trilogy and make her Broadway debut as stepmother "Madame" in *Cinderella*, but she also survived uterine cancer.

And now **Fran** **Drescher** is using her platform to empower others to take control of their health, reduce disease and maybe even prevent it in the first place.

Earlier this month, she launched a web-based educational series through her foundation [**Cancer Schmancer**](https://www.cancerschmancer.org/our-mission?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io)**,** featuring health experts on cancer, Alzheimers, auto-immune diseases, diabetes and nutrition.

The 6-part series which is streaming for free during the month of December is aimed at taking a holistic approach to health and wellness. Some of the topics explored include groundbreaking cancer treatments, practical steps in preventing Alzheimer's Disease and reversing cardiac plaque.

In what has traditionally been a doom-and-gloom area of personal health, is it a hopeful series? Definitely.

Is it for everyone? Well, you'll have to make up your own mind there.

So why exactly is **Fran Drescher** doing this? It all goes back to her own battle with cancer.

"I am a uterine cancer survivor, but was misdiagnosed and mistreated for a peri-menopausal condition I didn't have," she writes on the **Cancer Schamcer** site. "At the time, I didn't know to ask why or why not, because I was just happy to be told I was too young for something!"

"It took me two years and eight doctors before finally being told I had a gynaecological cancer," she continues.

After writing her book "Cancer Schmancer" in 2002, **Fran** realised she wasn't the only one to go through this. She also realised that so many diseases are preventable if there's enough awareness and early detection.

So for over a decade, the loveable *Nanny* has been working to shift the focus from finding a cure for cancer and disease to promoting health and awareness of symptoms so that countless diseases may be knocked out as soon as possible.
