Jane Fonda shared the news on Friday, revealing that she has started chemotherapy treatment.
“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. “This is a very treatable cancer. 80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky.”
“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, adding that people need to talk more about what causes cancer “so we can eliminate them. For example, people need to know that fossil fuels cause cancer. So do pesticides, many of which are fossil fuel-based, like mine.
Treatments and detecting the diagnosis early “have helped improve the prognosis for people with this disease,” per the site.
