Jennifer Saunders, familiar to American TV audiences as the eccentric London public-relations specialist Edina Monsoon on the uproarious British sitcom Absolutely Fabulous, has been fighting breast cancer since discovering a lump last October.

It's being reported by the BBC that she just completed treatment and her doctors say the screenwriter-actress-comedienne's condition is in remission.

Saunders, 52, has been seen with closely cropped hair as well as in a wig and bandana at a recent Wimbledon match. She will not comment on her health, her rep tells the BBC.

I'm so sorry to hear that. May God bless her and grant her a full, speedy recovery!!

I never really watched Ab Fab. But I did watch her previous series French and Saunders on which she co-starred with Dawn French. Jennifer Saunders is a very talented and a very funny lady and I wish her a full and complete recovery.

She is certainly in my thoughts and prayers... love her work in AbFab and French and Saunders...

She has been given the all clear, in remission.

Great news!! :)

Wonderful! She is not that much older than I am, I see--and about the same age as my dad's youngest sister was when she began her fight with the disease. Hope Jennifer doesn't face a recurrence in the future as my aunt is now. Best wishes, Ms. Saunders--loved Ab Fab!

Prayers and wishes for a speedy recovery Edina :)
