Jenna Fischer , best known for her role in The Office, is coming forward with her breast cancer experience after privately facing the disease over the past year.

The television star marked Octobers Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a fearless Instagram post on Tuesday, where she detailed her diagnosis and urged fans to stay current on their screenings.

In the post, Fischer, 50, shared a smiling photograph of herself rocking what she called a patchy pixie haircut along with a lengthy account of her health journey.

I never thought Id be making an announcement like this but here we are. Last December, I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Triple Positive Breast Cancer, she wrote in the caption. After completing surgery, chemotherapy and radiation I am now cancer free.

In the accompanying statement, Fischer recounted how, Back in October 2023, I posted a photo of myself on Instagram preparing for my routine mammogram with a joking reminder to take care of your ticking time bags a la Michael Scott.
