Cancer
Wadler has been treated for both breast and ovarian cancer. In 1991, Wadler was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a malignant tumor "the size of a robin's egg" removed from her left breast.[1] The eventual diagnosis was "ductal carcinoma with medullary features".[2][not in citation given] Due to somewhat early detection and aggressive treatment, Wadler called it "[m]y maybe-not- the-best-but-still-pretty-terrific-whatever-the-hell-it-is cancer".[3]
Her memoir about breast cancer, My Breast: One Woman's Cancer Story (ISBN 0671017756; ISBN 978-0-671-01775-0) was originally a two-part cover story for New York Magazine and later expanded into an award-winning[citation needed] book and made into a television movie starring Meredith Baxter, which won the American Women in Radio and Television Excellence in Programming Award in 1995.[citation needed] In 1995, she was diagnosed with "advanced ovarian cancer" and treated. She has been in remission since 2000.[citation needed]
