‘The Office’ star Jenna Fischer reveals breast cancer diagnosis
NY Post
Jenna Fischer has revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year.
“The Office” alum — who famously played Pam Beesly on the NBC sitcom — announced the news via Instagram on Tuesday, Oct. 8, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.
“Back in October 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,” Fischer’s post began. “They found something in my left breast. A biopsy was ordered. Then, on December 1, 2023, I learned I had stage 1 triple positive breast cancer.”
The 50-year-old actress shared that she underwent treatment and is cancer-free.
“After completing surgery, chemotherapy and radiation I am now cancer free,” she wrote.
However, the road to recovery was challenging.
