Stern declared the news a "miracle." The two discussed what Quivers' medical team had to say during the latest episode of the Howard Stern Show. The radio personality was overjoyed that his longtime colleague was free of the deadly illness.
"Robin kicked cancer's a--. They said it couldn't be done," Stern said. The news gave him chills when she first told him. "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."
Stern has supported Quivers and been in her corner ever since doctors first diagnosed her with cancer back in 2012. At the time, they found that she had endometrial cancer. The two have worked together for over 45 years.
In 2012, Quivers had to have a hysterectomy to fight the stage 3C endometrial cancer. She also under went 15 months of chemotherapy and radiation. In 2013, she announced she was in remission. But the cancer came back after three years.

"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 admitted to feeling like "a brand-new person", saying she "never gave up hope." For years, she has been undergoing immunotherapy treatment to try to fight the cancer.
"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."
