The first call Robin Quivers made after learning that
something might be very wrong with her was to Howard Stern. She was surprised
at what he had to say.
“He immediately started talking in terms of ‘we,’ as in, ‘Oh
my God, what are “we” going to do?’ ” she recalls to the NY Daily News. “It was just such an odd
thing to say. What did he mean, ‘we’?”
In time, Stern’s longtime sidekick learned precisely what he
meant. As listeners of Sirius XM Radio’s “The Howard Stern Show” now know,
Quivers was ultimately diagnosed with a form of endometrial cancer and
underwent a 12-hour operation in May 2012 to remove a tumor the “size of a
grapefruit” from her pelvis.
Stern was there every step of the way, advising her at every
turn. When she decided to get a second opinion following the surgery, Stern
actually took over.
“Howard told me that he was going to get me the best help,
the most up-to-date treatment and anything else I needed,” Quivers tells the
Daily News. “He went to work and all I had to do was show up for the
appointments and take the phone calls.
“I don’t think I would be here at all if it weren’t for
Howard.”
Quivers says her other survival tools can be found in her
new book out Tuesday, “The Vegucation of Robin,” where she details the healthy
lifestyle she adopted some years back that she believes helped save her life.
