Jenna Fischer, best known for her role on The Office, recently shared that she is now cancer-free after a battle with stage 1 triple-positive breast cancer.
Diagnosed in December 2023 following a routine mammogram, Fischer underwent a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation.
Taking to her Instagram handle, she shared her health update with her followers. “October is breast cancer awareness month. I never thought I’d be making an announcement like this but here we are. Last December, I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Triple Positive Breast Cancer.”
She shared that after going through treatment, chemotherapy and surgeries, she is now cancer-free. “After completing surgery, chemotherapy and radiation I am now cancer free.”
Jenna added, “I wanted a photo of myself in my patchy pixie looking happy and healthy to go along with this news. A big thank you to Angela Kinsey’s husband Josh Snyder for taking this photo. It’s just one example of the care they showed me during this journey.
She continued to share the details, “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,” Fischer explained, mentioning that a routine mammogram had identified a small tumour, which required her to undergo 12 rounds of weekly therapy in February, followed by three weeks of radiation in June.
Fischer expressed gratitude for her support system and hopes her story encourages others facing similar challenges .
