Jenna Fischer has joined in on the support for Lucy Davis after the actress revealed she has incurable breast cancer.
Davis, known for playing Dawn Tinsley in the U.K. version of The Office, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a health update. She announced she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2025 and that the disease has metastasized to her bones.
“A year and a half ago I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer, which has metastasized to my bones. Specifically to my spine, right hip, and my ribs. The cancer is incurable, and too late for chemo,” Davis wrote.
She continued, “As of now, I’m trying to live out whatever might be left of my life in as fun a way as I possibly can. I always like to find the teachable moments in anything negative that happens. And cancer has not disappointed in that regard; there’s a lot I have learned from it, and I’m grateful for that.”
Davis said she wants to continue working as long as she can.
“I still would like to keep working. I’m perfectly able to do so, and acting is one of the biggest joys in my life,” she wrote. “For those of you on a similar journey to mine, I do wish you well. Cancer asks a lot from us, physically and mentally. And we all get to do it however we choose.”
Her post garnered support from her many fans and famous friends. Fischer, who played her counterpart character Pam Beesly in the U.S. version of The Office, commented, “Beautiful post. Love you lots. And yes to working with cancer! Let’s spread that message far and wide! How working is such a comfort!”
Fischer herself is a breast cancer survivor. She revealed she was living cancer free in 2024 after she had been diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer.
Davis’ Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright also shared support. He commented, “Love you Lucy. Always. See you very soon.” Sarah Paulson also took to the comments, writing, “you are and always have been full of magic.”

Spring Awakening composer Duncan Sheik is receiving medical care for an unspecified health issue, according to a statement posted to his official Instagram Thursday.
The statement adds that Sheik remains in “critical but stable condition.”
“Out of respect for Duncan and our family, we will not be sharing any further medical details at this time,” the statement continues. “We kindly ask for privacy during this incredibly difficult time and will provide updates when appropriate. Thank you for the continued love and support.”
Sheik had a hit song in 1996 with the Grammy-nominated “Barely Breathing” off his self-titled debut album. He later became a successful composer for stage and film, perhaps best known for composing the 2006 musical Spring Awakening, which launched the careers of Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff. Sheik won a Tony for the project.
An off-Broadway revival of Spring Awakening begins previews in November. The new cast was announced on Wednesday.
Sheik also wrote the music and lyrics for the new musical Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen, debuting off-Broadway this fall.

Battinson may be back, but he’s feeling his age.
Robert Pattinson is currently filming the long-awaited superhero sequel The Batman Part II. The actor celebrated his 40th birthday a month before filming started on the project in London this June. He told GQ in a recent interview that making an action movie feels different at 40.
“I’m in London here till the end of the year doing a Batman sequel,” Pattinson said. “It’s good. I’m definitely feeling my age when fighting a lot. I’m literally like, ‘G******, this is significantly harder than it used to be.’”
The actor said even though making the movie is harder, it’s still “really fun” to do.
“I think the movie’s going to be pretty great. It’s got a really, really fun cast, but it’s a marathon,” Pattinson said.
The cast of The Batman Part II includes franchise newcomers and A-listers Scarlett Johansson and Sebastian Stan, whose roles have yet to be announced. Charles Dance, Brian Tyree Henry and Sebastian Koch also star in the Matt Reeves-directed movie.
The Batman Part II is set to open in theaters on Feb. 18, 2028. It has been delayed multiple times. The film was first scheduled to open on Oct. 2, 2026, before it was delayed to Oct. 1, 2027.
Reeves announced the most recent release date change in a video he posted to Vimeo on July 15. The video also features the first camera test footage of Pattinson back in costume as the caped crusader.
