Jane Fallon Diagnosed with Breast Cancer
Jane Fallon, a best-selling novelist known for her popular titles, has been diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 65. The diagnosis came after a routine mammogram conducted late last year, which revealed the cancer at a very early stage despite the absence of any symptoms.
Fallon shared her experience, stating, “About a month ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer – very early stage thankfully & the prognosis is excellent.” She emphasized the importance of regular screenings, noting that mammograms can help detect breast cancer that is too small to feel or see.
The author, who has written 14 books including ‘Getting Rid Of Matthew’ and ‘Faking Friends’, is set to undergo surgery later this month. She expressed her eagerness to proceed with the treatment, saying, “It’s been a lot, I’m not going to lie. But, my surgery is scheduled for the week after next and I just want to get it over with now.”
Fallon also highlighted the exceptional care she has received during this challenging time, stating, “I’m getting incredible care and all will be fine but I’m not engaging with much beyond audiobooks & jigsaws.”
In addition to her literary accomplishments, Fallon has been in a relationship with comedian Ricky Gervais for over 44 years. The couple met while studying at University College London in the early 1980s, and their enduring partnership has been a significant aspect of her life.
With a following of 35.4k on Instagram, Fallon has been open about her health journey, using her platform to raise awareness about breast cancer detection. Her debut novel is currently being adapted for film, showcasing her continued influence in the literary and entertainment worlds.
As Jane Fallon prepares for her surgery, the prognosis remains positive, and she is focused on her recovery. Further updates on her health and upcoming projects are anticipated as she navigates this personal challenge.
