Author Jane Fallon's Silent Battle: Breast Cancer Found Early
12 Mar
Summary
- Best-selling author Jane Fallon diagnosed with breast cancer.
- Cancer detected early during a routine mammogram.
- Fallon's surgery is scheduled for the upcoming week.
Best-selling author Jane Fallon has disclosed her recent diagnosis with breast cancer. The author, who has been in a relationship with comedian Ricky Gervais for over 40 years, shared that the cancer was detected during a routine mammogram.
Fallon explained that she had no symptoms, but a radiographer noticed something unusual, prompting further tests, including biopsies and an MRI. This early detection has led to an excellent prognosis, according to Fallon.
Her surgical procedure is scheduled for the week following the current one. She has indicated a strong desire to proceed with the surgery promptly and is currently focusing on recovery activities such as audiobooks and jigsaws.
Fallon began her career in television before publishing her first novel, 'Getting Rid of Matthew,' in 2007. She has since released 14 books, with titles like 'Worst. Idea. Ever' and 'Faking Friends' gaining significant acclaim. Her relationship with Ricky Gervais started in 1982 after meeting at University College London. The couple resides in Hampstead, west London.
