Robin Quivers surgery was last Friday for removal of bladder tumor - Robin Quivers is co-host of the Howard Stern Show

Robin Quivers has been Howard Stern’s faithful side-woman since the early 1980s where she began as his newswoman, and proved to be one of few who “got” him on the air, Robin Quivers headed for surgery last Friday, May 25. 

She revealed on Stern’s Sirius XM show May 14th that she has a tumor of 13 centimeters—that’s more than 5 inches—that’s pressing against her bladder. She’s wearing a catheter now.

Quivers understands the severity of the procedure: She’s a trained emergency medical services nurse and served in the U.S. Air Force as a First Lieutenant and Captain.

Stern stated (video above) that he will not do the show without her. Quivers responded, “Oh, don't make me cry.”
