Posting a sweet pic alongside her cat Pickles on , Jane wrote: “Little update. So, my 2nd surgery went well.
“They got the clear margin they need on the original excision, which is great.
“They did hit a new little patch of precancerous cells on the other side of the new bit they took out but, thankfully, everyone agrees more surgery would be overkill.
“A huge % of pre cancer doesn’t develop into cancer.
“I saw the oncologist today & we’ve agreed the risks of radiation outweigh the benefits in my case.
“Which leaves Tamoxifen (or similar) or wait and see (my preferred option).
“I’m very nervous about going the drug route, because I know the side effects can be hideous, but I’m taking all the info on board & luckily there’s no pressure to make a quick decision.
“So, all good & I’m just looking forward to getting back to normal.”
Jane’s followers flocked to support her, including author Jojo Moyes who wrote: “Well done for getting through another surgery.
“Wishing you some reassuring news very soon x”
A fan added: “Happy to hear the update and it sounds very positive … yes take your time to decide , & so all the research … as of course you will x”
Another said: “That’s such uplifting news , so pleased your doing well. onwards and upwards x And cats will always upstage.”
This comes just days after Jane slammed a fake obituary that was published online after she was revealed she had cancer.
She said: “I’ve taken the post about the obituary down, because I don’t want people to think I’m upset by it. I’m not. P***ed off yes.
Breast Cancer Screening
Most women will have been told to check their own breasts for signs of lumps and bumps, but after a certain age you’ll be invited for a free NHS breast cancer screening.
You’ll automatically get your first invite for up to three years after you hit 50, as long as you’re registered to a GP surgery.
After that, you’ll be invited every three years until you turn 71.
If you’re a trans man, trans woman or are non-binary, you may be invited automatically, or you may need to talk to your GP surgery or call the local breast screening service to ask for an appointment.
If you have not been invited for breast screening by the time you are 53 and think you should have been, contact your local breast screening service.
But if you’re experiencing symptoms of breast cancer before you reach screening age, don’t wait to be invited – see a GP.
Do this even if you’ve recently had a breast screening.

“But more, I just want people to know that any photos you see of me in hospital, looking sad or with tubes sticking out of me are 100% fake – AI generated.”
Following her recent procedure, Jane told her followers she was feeling “remarkably fine” and in good spirits.
She assured people she wold update them once she had the medical all clear.
“Then 8-10 days wait for confirmation that they’ve got it all & the margins are clear (small % chance of more surgery if not),” Jane wrote.
She has been resting up at home with the support of cat Pickles.
