Jenna Fischer revealed Tuesday that she’d dealt with a private breast cancer scare beginning in December of last year. Since then, the “Office Ladies” co-host has undergone treatment and has now been declared cancer-free.

“October is breast cancer awareness month,” the “Office” alum wrote. “I never thought I’d be making an announcement like this but here we are. Last December, I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Triple Positive Breast Cancer. After completing surgery, chemotherapy and radiation I am now cancer free.”

“I wanted a photo of myself in my patchy pixie looking happy and healthy to go along with this news,” Fischer said, sharing a photo featuring her new post-cancer hairdo.
