Jane Fallon Updates on Health After Cancer Surgery

Jane Fallon gave a health update on Thursday following her breast diagnosis as she shared news from her second surgery.

The author, 65, who has been in a relationship with comedian  for over 40 years, revealed in March she had been diagnosed 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 her first surgery to remove the tumour and a margin of healthy tissue, that the surgeons had 'basically got it all'. 

And sharing more good news this week she wrote on Instagram: 'Little update. So, my 2nd surgery went well. They got the clear margin they need on the original excision, which is great. 

'They did hit a new little patch of precancerous cells on the other side of the new bit they took out but, thankfully, everyone agrees more surgery would be overkill. 

'A huge % of pre cancer doesn't develop into cancer. 

'I saw the oncologist today & we've agreed the risks of radiation outweigh the benefits in my case. Which leaves Tamoxifen (or similar) or wait and see (my preferred option). 

'I'm very nervous about going the drug route, because I know the side effects can be hideous, but I'm taking all the info on board & luckily there's no pressure to make a quick decision. So, all good & I'm just looking forward to getting back to normal.'

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

Jane 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.
