Jenna Fischer is sharing news of her breast cancer diagnosis.
“The Office” star, 50, made the reveal on her Instagram on Tuesday, writing that since October is breast cancer awareness month, she wanted to share her story.
“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. After completing surgery, chemotherapy and radiation I am now cancer free,” she wrote in her caption. “I wanted a photo of myself in my patchy pixie looking happy and healthy to go along with this news.”
Fischer noted in her caption that the slides of her Instagram post contained more info about her breast cancer journey.
She said that last year she underwent a routine mammogram and encourages others to do the same. Then doctors discovered “something in my left breast,” she recalled.
