Oscar-winning actress and activist Jane Fonda announced Friday she has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and has been undergoing chemotherapy treatments for the past six months.
In an Instagram post, the 84-year-old Fonda wrote that the illness “is a very treatable cancer,” noting that"80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky.” “I'm also lucky because I have health insurance and access to the best doctors and treatments,” she wrote. “I realize, and it's painful, that I am privileged in this. Almost every family in America has had to deal with cancer at one time or another and far too many don't have access to the quality health care I am receiving and this is not right.”
She said she is handling chemotherapy “quite well” and insisted she will not let her condition “interfere with my climate activism.”
