Jane Fonda revealed that she has been diagnosed with non-lymphoma Hodgkin’s and has begun chemotherapy treatment on her verified social media account on Sep 2, 2022
“This is an extremely treatable cancer.” “80% of people survive, so I consider myself extremely fortunate,” she wrote.
Fonda stated that she will undergo chemotherapy for six months and that she is “handling the treatments quite well,” adding that “believe me, I will not let any of this interfere with my climate activism.”
Fonda used her post to highlight the state of healthcare in the United States. She expressed gratitude for “having health insurance and access to the best doctors and treatments.”
“I realise, painfully, that I am privileged in this.” “Almost every family in America has dealt with cancer at some point, and far too many do not have access to the quality health care I am receiving, which is unacceptable.”
Non-lymphoma Hodgkin’s is rare cancer that develops in the lymphatic system, the body’s vast network of vessels and glands.
She concluded her post with, “The midterms are looming, and they are beyond consequential so you can count on me to be right there together with you as we grow our army of climate champions.”
