Danielle Fishel Trains for DWTS Season 34 After Cancer Treatment

She describes treatment as a wake-up call that prompted a fast yes to the show.

Overview

  • Fishel is paired with pro Pasha Pashkov and says they clicked immediately during early rehearsals.
  • She tells Us Weekly she feels incredibly healthy and wakes up excited to train each day.
  • Her treatment included a lumpectomy in August 2024, a margin-revision surgery the following month, and 20 rounds of radiation.
  • She has described radiation as intensely painful, with burns and rash, and says she finished the course in January.
  • Season 34 premieres September 16 on ABC with next-day streaming on Disney+ and Hulu, while outlets differ on whether her diagnosis was Stage 0 DCIS or Stage 1.
