Robin Quivers Opens up About her Cancer Battle

Robin Quivers, the familiar voice on the Howard Stern's radio program show, shared on Monday that she has battled cancer for the past year, according to People.

Robin Quivers opened up about her struggle after a caller asked when Quivers would be returning to the studio. She has been working her gig from home since May of last year.

The 61-year-old said she underwent treatment, including radiation and chemotherapy, for cancer that started in the endometrial tissue of her uterus. She added that doctors told her three months ago she's "cured."

"I gotta be honest, I thought she was a goner," Stern told listeners today, adding that he still gets chills hearing Quivers' story. "I can't tell you how dire everything seemed."

Robin Quivers then went on to say doctors found a tumor in her pelvis in May.

Even while going through two surgeries and months of radiation and chemotherapy, Quivers continued to do Stern's radio show from home, missing only two days on the air.

"I was so flabbergasted," Stern said. "She said the show was the only thing that gave her solace."

"It never occurred to me not to be on the air," Quivers said. "When I was on the air, I was pain-free."

Stern, who Quivers said supported her through her illness, said he was overjoyed with the outcome.

"I can't tell you when you see a friend, a life-long friend, going through this, what it's like," Stern said. "I'll be honest. I thought she was a goner. You bet against anybody else except Robin."
