Howard Stern’s radio partner, Robin Quivers, is officially “cancer-free” 14 years after her diagnosis.
Stern called the news “a miracle” when she announced it on Monday’s episode of “The Howard Stern Show.”
“Robin kicked cancer’s ass. They said it couldn’t be done,” the 72-year-old disc jockey said, admitting that he still “gets the chills” when he thinks about the moment Quivers, 73, told him the news.
“I couldn’t believe it. And really, I’ve said this to Robin privately, but I would like to say it on the air. Like this is really a miracle,” he added.
Stern also called Quivers — who first announced her diagnosis with endometrial cancer in 2012 — “a fighter” and praised her resilience in her cancer battle.
“She researched, she got the answers she needed, and here’s the good lesson — she took charge,” Stern continued. “I’m gonna say this because this is really true. I’ve watched the whole thing. She took charge of her health. She started to do all the right things. She never deviated, and she really took it seriously.”
Quivers said she feels like “a brand-new person” since doctors told her last week her cancer was gone.
She also told Stern that while life wasn’t “fun” during her cancer treatment, she “never gave up hope.”
Quivers, who has worked with Stern for over 45 years, was diagnosed with stage 3C endometrial cancer and underwent a hysterectomy in 2012.
In 2013, she announced that she was in remission after 15 months of chemotherapy and radiation — but her cancer came back three years later.
She opened up about undergoing immunotherapy infusions intermittently to treat her cancer in a 2023 interview with People.
“I feel fine. It’s been 11 years of dealing with this — and I’m still here,” she said. “When you’re in and out of treatment, you’re always recovering and trying to get back to where you were.”
