Jane Fallon Says Breast Cancer Surgery Went Well

Doctors will confirm in 8–10 days if her surgical margins are clear.

Overview

  • Fallon, who had surgery Monday, said she felt "remarkably fine" after the operation and returned home the same day.
  • She expects results in 8–10 days to show whether surgeons removed all cancer, with a small chance she may need another procedure.
  • Pathology will examine the tissue taken out to check for clear margins, which means no cancer cells at the edge of what was removed.
  • Her cancer was found very early on a routine mammogram, and she has told followers her prognosis is excellent.
  • Ricky Gervais said she was "doing well" in a brief note to fans as supporters, including fellow authors and TV figures, sent messages of encouragement.
