Actress Jenna Fischer, who gained popularity as Pam Beesly on the hit television show “The Office,” spoke about receiving a Stage 1 triple-positive breast cancer diagnosis in December 2023. She did, however, disclose that she is now cancer-free and doing well, according to Page Six.

She updated her fans on her health via her Instagram profile. Breast cancer awareness month occurs in October. I never imagined that I would be announcing anything like this, yet here we are. I was given a Stage 1 Triple Positive Breast Cancer diagnosis in December.”

She said that she is now cancer-free after treatment, chemotherapy, and surgeries. “After completing surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, I am now cancer-free.”

“I wanted a picture of myself looking happy and healthy in my patchy pixie cut to go along with this news,” Jenna said. We really appreciate Josh Snyder, Angela Kinsey’s husband, for snapping this picture. It’s just one illustration of the consideration they gave me on our trip.”

“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 continued to provide details. She mentioned that a routine mammogram had revealed a small tumor, necessitating 12 rounds of weekly therapy in February and three weeks of radiation in June and beyond.

“Triple-positive breast cancer is an aggressive form of breast cancer but it is also highly responsive to treatment,” Fischer said.

She had a lumpectomy in January in order to remove the tumor. Although her cancer was severe and “still required chemotherapy and radiation to be sure it didn’t return,” fortunately it was “caught early and it hadn’t spread into [her] lymph nodes or throughout the rest of [her] body.”

After starting 12 rounds of chemotherapy in February, the actress had three weeks of radiation treatment in June.

“I lost my hair during chemotherapy but thanks to some great wigs and hats with hair (which my family affectionately called Wigats), I have been able to wait until now to reveal all that has been going on for me,” Fisher said.

“And while I continue to be treated with infusions of Herceptin and a daily dose of Tamoxifen,” she said, “I’m happy to say I’m feeling great.”

“I’m serious, call your doctor right now,” she remarked while discussing the reason for her decision to go public with her cancer struggle. She said that her tumor was so small that a physical examination was unable to find it. Things would have turned out far worse if I had delayed another six months. It could have proliferated…Think of this as your motivation to complete the task.”

“A physical examination did not detect my tumor due to its modest size. Things would have turned out far worse if I had delayed another six months. It may have proliferated.”

Fischer went on, “Anyone who has received a cancer diagnosis is aware of how quickly their life is altered. Everything revolves around doctor’s visits, test results, therapies, and the healing process following them. All of a sudden, your whole existence revolves around battling cancer.”

Fischer expressed her appreciation to Angela Kinsey, her co-star on The Office.

“Thank goodness, I was allowed to continue working while undergoing therapy. The reason for all of this is because I work alongside my closest friend, Angela Kinsey, who has always stood up for and defended me,” Fischer said, saying that Kinsey was once “the only person in [her] office who knew.”

Fischer said, “She wore hats to our work meetings so I wouldn’t be the only one when I lost my hair.” We took a break when I needed one.”

She thanked her spouse in closing, saying he was “literally by her side” through all of her “surgeries, chemotherapy, doctor appointments, endless googling, and late-night ugly cries.”

Lee asked me if there was anything I wanted to do to celebrate after my last round of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. I responded that all I wanted to do was ring a bell in our backyard with the kids while everyone was flinging confetti. Thus, we succeeded,” she said, adding that she had been “recently re-screened, and the therapies worked” as she remained “cancer-free,” according to Page Six.
