Jane Fallon Faces Surgery Amid Cancer Fight

Jane Fallon revealed she is undergoing another operation amid her battle.

The author, 65, who has been in a relationship with comedian for over 40 years, took to Instagram on Monday to share an image of her feet in compression socks - commonly used during and after surgery to prevent blood clots.

She added the simple caption: 'The popsox are on again. Wish me luck', before a slew of followers wished their best including Emma Willis and Roisin Conaty.

In March, Jane revealed she had been diagnosed with the disease following a routine mammogram and she has since been keeping her fans up to date online. 

Earlier this month, Jane gave a positive update as she announced that after having surgery to remove the tumour and a margin of healthy tissue, Jane shared the positive news that the surgeons have 'basically got it all'. 

She wrote: 'The surgeon said I can lift some weights so I'm starting with this one [the cat]. Just a little update, all is good, yesterday I had my follow-up and they have basically got it all.

'What they haven't got is a clear margin around the edge of what they have taken so I am going to have to have another op.

'It will be just to make sure they get everything, which is a bit of a pain, but it isn't a worry – they just need to make sure they have a clear margin, so will be the exact same operation as last time.'

The update comes just days after Jane hit out at a 'disgusting' fake obituary in a post shared to X on Saturday after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

However, after undergoing the operation and informing her followers that surgeons 'basically got it all', Jane has made her feelings known about AI-generated images, as fake announcements of her death started circulating online.

Taking to X, referencing a since-deleted post, she wrote: 'I've taken the post about the obituary down, because I don't want people to think I'm upset by it.

'I'm not. p***ed off yes. But more, I just want people to know that any photos you see of me in hospital, looking sad or with tubes sticking out of me are 100% fake – AI generated'.

Jane was flooded with supportive messages with one explaining how the 'obituary' was originally shared by a page set up as a Ricky fan page.

'It's a beyond vile page, reported that post and the page itself. It hides under the guise of a RG 'fan' and animal welfare! The AI stuff posted is frankly libellous and disgusting! Not something anyone should have to deal with'.

Jane's career started out in television – before the publication of her bestselling book, Getting Rid Of Matthew, in 2007.

Since then she has released 14 books – with Worst. Idea. Ever, Faking Friends, Just Got Real and Queen Bee among her most widely acclaimed titles.

Harrow-born Jane began her relationship with comedian Ricky in 1982 – after meeting him while they both studied at University College London.

The couple are said to have moved in together in 1984 and they currently reside in Hampstead, west London, with their beloved pets.
