Jane Fallon gives health update as she reveals surgeons have 'basically got it all' following her surgery for breast cancer

Jane Fallon says surgeons have “basically got it all” after undergoing surgery for breast cancer.

Sharing an update on Friday (03.04.26), days after the procedure, the 65-year-old bestselling author and long-time partner of comedian Ricky Gervais, also 64, revealed she had been diagnosed with the disease in March following a routine mammogram.

Writing on Instagram and speaking in a video update, Jane has now said the tumour had been removed along with surrounding tissue, though she will require a second operation to ensure a clear margin.

According to her post, the follow-up came 10 days after surgery, with doctors advising further treatment to complete the procedure.

While holding her pet, Jane said: “The surgeon said I can lift some weights so I'm starting with this one (her cat.) Just a little update, all is good, yesterday I had my follow up and they have basically got it all.

“What they haven't got is a clear margin around the edge of what they have taken so I am going to have to have another op. It will be just to make sure they get everything, which is a bit of a pain, but it isn't a worry they just need to make sure they have a clear margin, so will be the exact same operation as last time.”
