Jenna Fischer revealed on social media Tuesday that she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. The Office actress opened up about her treatment journey and expressed gratitude to her friends, family, and healthcare team for their support. She shared that after going through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, she is now cancer-free.
In her Instagram post, Fischer urged women to schedule their yearly mammograms, explaining that her own regular screening played a crucial role in saving her life, in her caption she wrote, “Back in October of 2023, I posted a photo of myself on Instagram preparing for my routine mammogram with a joking reminder to ‘take care of your ticking time bags,’ a la Michael Scott. After inconclusive results on that mammogram due to dense breast tissue, my doctor ordered a breast ultrasound. They found something in my left breast. A biopsy was ordered. Then, on Dec. 1, 2023, I learned I had Stage 1 Triple Positive Breast Cancer.”
