Ricky Gervais’ partner Jane Fallon has been diagnosed with cancer.
The best-selling author has revealed that she received the news last month.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “So… I thought I should post something as I’ve had a few people notice I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately.
“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.
“But, my surgery is scheduled for the week after next and I just want to get it over with now.
“I’m getting incredible care and all will be fine but I’m not engaging with much beyond audiobooks & jigsaws tbh. Dr Eric on duty. Nurse Pickle wondering when lunch is.”
She met Gervais when studying at University College London in 1982.
