JANE Fallon has revealed she has undergone surgery following her shock breast cancer diagnosis.
The author, who is the partner of Ricky Gervais, told fans earlier this month that she was suffering with breast cancer, despite having no symptoms before the diagnosis.
Now, Jane has confirmed that her operation is over and assured fans she is feeling in high spirits after the procedure.
Sharing some snaps of herself from hospital, Jane wrote to X: “So… I had my op today.
“I’m feeling remarkably fine, which is possibly the drugs & that might also explain why I’m cross eyed in pic 4).
“I had quite a lovely couple of hours drinking tea & reading the brilliant @CatSteadman ‘s new one (more on that later).”
Jane also shared an update on when she will get the all clear, explaining that it will be at least a further week.
She said: “The popsox have to stay on for 48 hours so that’s nice.
“Then 8-10 days wait for confirmation that they’ve got it all & the margins are clear (small % chance of more surgery if not).”
She is now resting up at home with the support of cat Pickles.
Jane has been with comedian Ricky for over 40 years, with the couple meeting back in 1982.
She is known for career as an author, having penned books such as Getting Rid of Matthew, Got You Back, Queen Bee, Worst Idea Ever, and Faking Friends.
Revealing her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this month, Jane assured fans not to “panic” and said her prognosis was “excellent”.
She said on Instagram: “About a month ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer – very early stage thankfully & the prognosis is excellent.
“I had a routine mammogram a week before Christmas. I had no symptoms but the brilliant radiographer spotted something iffy & sent me for further tests & eventually a biopsy.
“Since then I’ve had more mammograms, more biopsies and an MRI so they can pinpoint the problem area precisely. It’s been a lot, I’m not going to lie.”
The star added that she has been under “incredible” care.
