In a post to mark breast cancer awareness month, Fischer said that she had undergone a lumpectomy as well as chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
She noted in the caption that she underwent a routine mammogram last year, before encouraging others to do the same.
Doctors discovered “something in my left breast,” she recalled.
She revealed she had lost her hair during treatment, but was now cancer-free.
Despite the positive news, Fischer said she was still receiving medication transfusions.
“I’m happy to say I’m feeling great,” she wrote.
She also shared a sweet picture of her and her husband and two kids celebrating in the yard as she rang a bell to mark being cancer-free.
Fischer is best known for playing Pam Beesly on NBC’s sitcom The Office, which ran for nine seasons between 2005 and 2013.
Well-wishers have bombarded the post with support as they praised Fischer for her bravery and honesty about her health, as well as her message to others to get mammograms.
“You already know how much I love you and how incredibly proud of you I am,” wrote actress Olivia Munn underneath.
“But I just want to say it again; I love you and by sharing your story you’re helping so many women and saving so many lives. You’re just the best.”
Fellow co-star from The Office, Angela Kinsey also praised Fischer’s post.
“I love you and I’m so glad you’re sharing,” the actress, who played Angela Martin on the hit show wrote. “I got your back, always.”
