Fran's experience with her cancer battle was documented in her memoir "Cancer Schmancer."

The actress went on to found her own advocacy organization named after her book’s title.

“I got famous, then I got cancer, and now I live to talk about it," is the slogan used on the website and in Fran's Instagram bio.

On the group's website, she writes: "Sometimes the best gifts come in the ugliest packages. Please lock elbows with me and join the Cancer Schmancer Movement so together we can do what needs to be done, so fewer of us will die prematurely.”
