Jane Fallon's Breast Cancer Journey: Early Detection & Support

0:00On March 12, best-selling author Jane Fallon has announced the breast cancer diagnosis after a routine mammogram caught it early, even though she had, no symptoms at all. The 65-year-old shared the news on Instagram, explaining she'd been quieter online lately. A week before Christmas, the scan led to more test-light biopsies and an MRI to zero in on the issue. Now, surgery is set for the week after next, and she's eager to move past it with top-notch medical care. Fallon has built a strong career, starting in television before hitting big with books like Getting Rid of Matthew back in 2007. She's published 14 novels since then, and has shared her life with comedian Ricky Jervais for over 40 years ever since meeting at university. In 1982, fans quickly rallied with messages of support, relieved the cancer was detected so soon. Many noted how crucial those routine checks can be. As she preps for the procedure, Fallon is keeping things light with audiobooks and jigsaws, confident all will turn out well.
