“Happy New Year! What a year 2024 was.

She continued, “ I mean…cozy robe, coffee, book, and that view! (I’ve been angling to be their official ambassador for years. And I won’t give up until it happens 😂).”

Fischer continued her message by providing fans with an update on her health. “I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are going into this New Year refreshed and energized,” she wrote. “I have two more Herceptin infusions and then I will get my port out!! Woot! Hair is growing back (slowly and wildly, but it’s growing).”

Fischer shared that she began “12 rounds” of chemo in February and started three weeks of radiation four months later. During her treatment, Fischer lost her hair, instead wearing wigs and hats with extensions. Fischer ultimately decided to share her diagnosis with the public because she said she was ready to “ditch the wigs” and remind others to get their annual mammograms.

“If I had waited six months longer, things could have been much worse. It could have spread,” she wrote. “Seeing women post photos of their mammogram appointments on Instagram needled me into setting my own (which I was late for). I’m so glad I did. Consider this your kick in the butt to get it done.”
