Ricky Gervais’ long-term partner Jane Fallon has shared a candid health update following her recent cancer treatment, admitting she feels “very nervous” about what comes next. The bestselling author took to Instagram to update fans after undergoing a second surgery, revealing doctors have now achieved the “clear margin” they were hoping for.

In a heartfelt post, she explained: “My 2nd surgery went well. They got the clear margin they need on the original excision, which is great.” However, she also revealed that doctors discovered “a new little patch of precancerous cells” during the procedure, though she reassured followers that further surgery is not currently needed.

Fallon added, “Thankfully, everyone agrees that more surgery would be overkill. A huge % of pre-cancer doesn’t develop into cancer.”

The author said she has since met with an oncologist to discuss next steps, including whether to undergo preventative treatment. She explained that radiotherapy has been ruled out, saying: “We’ve agreed the risks of radiation outweigh the benefits in my case.”

Instead, Fallon is now weighing up whether to take hormone therapy drugs such as Tamoxifen, or opt for monitoring the condition instead.

Opening up about her concerns, she admitted: “I’m very nervous about going the drug route, because I know the side effects can be hideous.”

Despite her worries, she reassured fans she is under no pressure to make a quick decision and is taking time to consider all options.

She added: “Luckily, there’s no pressure to make a quick decision… So, all good & I’m just looking forward to getting back to normal.”

Others simply sent well wishes, with one saying: “Wishing you a speedy recovery.”
