Jenna Fischer of 'The Office' sports a 'patchy pixie' cut amid her diagnosis of triple-positive breast cancer , revealed Oct. 8, 2024.
October is breast cancer awareness month. Fischer, 50, said she chose to disclose her diagnosis now to “implore” others to get their annual mammograms. She additionally hoped her disclosure would be a “source of support” to anyone currently undergoing breast cancer treatment. Fischer said she concealed her diagnosis by wearing wigs, and “hats with hair” so the public would not be aware of her hair loss. Imparting advice to her followers, Fischer wrote, “You can also ask your doctor to calculate your Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score and get any additional screenings required. I’m serious, call your doctor right now.”“My tumour was so small it could not be felt on a physical exam,” she continued. “If I had waited six months longer, things could have been much worse.
“It becomes all about doctor’s appointments, test results, treatments and recovering from treatments,” she wrote. “Suddenly everything in your life is geared around one thing: fighting cancer.”Jon Stewart mocks Elon Musk, takes swipe at ‘reckless’ Trump rally claimsShe said her kids, ages 10 and 13, are “great,” and that her cancer diagnosis was a “journey” they took as a family.
