Jenna Fischer is revealing that her โOfficeโ co-star and real-life best friend, Angela Kinsey, was her confidant throughout her secret breast cancer fight.
Fischer, 50, held back tears while discussing their special friendship in a sit-down interview with โTodayโ hostย Hoda Kotbย about her cancer journey that aired on Monday.
The actress โย who famously playedย Pam Beesly on โThe Officeโ โย broke her silence on her diagnosis earlier this month, revealing she began the private cancer battle last year. After undergoing a series of treatments, Fischer proudly declared she is now cancer-free.
While the star hid her diagnosis from the world for a year, she disclosed her health struggle with Kinsey and made her promise to keep it between them.
โFrom the beginning, she said, โWhatever you need. You tell me, Iโm here.โ And I said, โI want to keep working, and I donโt want anyone to know at work. At work, I want that to be a space where we go and we laugh and Iโm not a cancer patient. I need that.โ And she said, โOkay,’โ Fischer told Kotb about her conversation with Kinsey.
She also shared that when her physical appearance began changing due to the treatment, Kinsey โย known for playing Angela Martin on โThe Officeโย โย didnโt leave her hanging.
โAnd when I started to lose my hair, I would wear my hats with my hair coming out. We called them โwig hats,’โ Fischer said. โAnd she started wearing hats to work so that I wouldnโt be the only person in a work meeting wearing a hat.โ
When Kotb commented, โThatโs love,โ Fischer held back tears while responding, โYeah โ and it was amazing.โ
However, Kinsey wasnโt the only celebrity Fischer confided in about her diagnosis.
The actress also told Kotb that she called fellow breast cancer survivor Christina Applegate after learning the news.
โI called her, and she answered the phone, and she said, โWhich one is it?โ And I said, โItโs breast cancer.โ And she said, โI effing knew it,’โ she recalled their conversation during the interview with Kotb โ who also beat breast cancer.
โSheโs salty. Salty language that one. I love her for it,โ Fischer joked.
โThe Officeโ star opened up about her journey in an Instagram post on Oct. 8 in honor of breast cancer awareness month.
โLast December, I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Triple Positive Breast Cancer. After completing surgery, chemotherapy and radiation I am now cancer free,โ she shared in part.
Fischer gave Kinsey a shout-out in her announcement, telling her followers, โI wanted a photo of myself in my patchy pixie looking happy and healthy to go along with this news. A big thank you to Angela Kinseyโs husband Josh Snyder for taking this photo. Itโs just one example of the care they showed me during this journey.โ
Kinsey responded to her co-starโs post, writing, โI love you and Iโm so glad youโre sharing. I got your back, always.โ
Fischer is married to her husband, director Lee Kirk, who she wed in 2010. The couple has two kids: son Weston Lee and daughter Harper Marie.
