Triple-positive breast cancer, which Fischer described as an “aggressive” but
treatable form of the illness, makes up about 10 percent of female breast cancer
cases, according to the nonprofit Breastcancer.org. In an Instagram post this
week to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Fischer said: “As anyone who has had
a cancer diagnosis knows, your life changes immediately … Suddenly everything in
your life is geared around one thing: fighting cancer.”
