After two years of symptoms and misdiagnoses by eight doctors, Drescher was admitted to Los Angeles's [[Cedars Sinai Hospital]] on June 21, 2000, after doctors diagnosed her with [[uterine cancer]]. She had to undergo an immediate radical [[hysterectomy]] to treat the disease. Drescher was declared cancer-free and no post-operative treatment was ordered. Drescher wrote about her experiences in her second book, ''Cancer Schmancer''.<ref name=FranCNN/> Her purpose for this book was to raise consciousness for people "to become more aware of the early warning signs of cancer, and to empower themselves". Drescher says, "I was going to learn what I needed to learn, ask questions, become partners with my doctor instead of having some kind of parent/child relationship."
