Jane Fonda, 84, Diagnosed with 'Very Treatable' Cancer and Is Undergoing Chemo: 'I Feel Very Lucky'

[kpete]

"I will not allow cancer to keep me from doing all I can," Jane Fonda wrote, revealing that she's undergone six months of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

.................

"So, my dear friends, I have something personal I want to share. I've been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and have started chemo treatments," Fonda began in the post. "This is a very treatable cancer. 80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky."

Jane Fonda Isn't Fazed by Being 'Closer to Death': 'It Doesn't Really Bother Me'
She explained that she's been undergoing chemo for six months, and is "handling the treatments quite well," adding that she "will not let any of this interfere with my climate activism."

"Cancer is a teacher and I'm paying attention to the lessons it holds for me. One thing it's shown me already is the importance of community. Of growing and deepening one's community so that we are not alone. And the cancer, along with my age --almost 85-- definitely teaches the importance of adapting to new realities," Fonda added.

6. 84? She doesn't look it going by her current photos.

In fact to me she looks more like she is in her late 40's to mid 50's max.

8. I just heard that on TV. I wish her the very best.

Her statement is what an activist would say. That she is fortunate to have good insurance and access to good care. The way she said it implied that so many do nat have that.
