Amazing news for Jane Fonda! Her cancer is in remission!
Jane took to instagram to share the news on Thursday. In September, Fonda revealed she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
“Last week I was told by my oncologist that my cancer is in remission and I can discontinue chemo,” Fonda wrote on alongside a photo of her at a climate rally in Washington, D.C.
“I am feeling so blessed, so fortunate,” the 84-year-old actress continued. “I thank all of you who prayed and sent good thoughts my way. I am confident that it played a role in the good news.”
She continued “I’m especially happy because while my first 4 chemo treatments were rather easy for me, only a few days of being tired, the last chemo session was rough and lasted 2 weeks making it hard to accomplish much of anything. The effects wore off just as I went to D.C. for the first live, in-person Fire Drill Fridays rally. Thank heavens for that because it was a busy week. Besides the rally, I did some lobbying and spoke twice at the Democracy Alliance all in an effort to stop Senator Joe Manchin’s side deal which climate activists call the Dirty Deal. This deal, called ‘permitting reform,’ seeks to fast track fossil fuel projects, does great harm to bedrock environmental protections and curtails the public‘s ability to have input, basically throwing marginalized communities disproportionately burdened by fossil fuel pollution under the bus.”
So happy for Jane and what an amazing Christmas for her and her family!
