Danielle Fishel Reveals Cancer Battle Prompted "Fastest Yes" to "Dancing with the Stars"

In a candid interview, actress Danielle Fishel, widely recognized for her role as Topanga Lawrence in "Boy Meets World," has opened up about her decision to join the upcoming season of "Dancing with the Stars." Fishel revealed that her participation in the popular dance competition comes after a significant personal challenge, a battle with cancer last year. "There was just always something that wasn't right about it," Fishel stated regarding previous invitations to the show. However, this year, the timing felt different. "After last year having cancer, I just realized like, 'I'm not having enough fun or I'm not experiencing enough joy.'" She described her acceptance as "the fastest yes ever" when the call came in. Fishel expressed her anticipation for the experience, viewing it as a much-needed period of positivity. "The minute this call came in, it sounded like exactly that: joy and fun wrapped up into a three-month experience." She added, "It's been a week and that's exactly what it's been, joy and fun." Her journey on DWTS, partnered with Pasha Pashkov, is expected to be a testament to her resilience and renewed zest for life.
