Actress and activist Jane Fonda announced on Instagram Friday that she's been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which she describes as being "a very treatable cancer."
"I'm doing chemo for 6 months and am handling the treatments quite well and, believe me, I will not let any of this interfere with my climate activism," Fonda says in the written statement on her diagnosis. "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."
