Jane Fonda has introduced she is in remission, simply three months after revealing she’d been identified with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
In an elated submit to her public web site, Fonda, 84, shared the completely satisfied information, titling the submit “BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!!”
“Last week I was told by my oncologist that my cancer is in remission and I can discontinue chemo,” she started. “I am feeling so blessed, so fortunate.”

The submit 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.
“I’m particularly completely satisfied as a result of whereas my first 4 chemo remedies had been relatively simple for me, just a few days of being drained, the final chemo session was tough and lasted 2 weeks making it onerous to perform a lot of something,” she added.
The Grace and Frankie actress revealed that the effects of chemotherapy wore off just as she attended the Fire Drill Friday rallies in the US.
Fire Drill Fridays is Fonda’s own grassroots climate change movement that she founded in 2019. This year’s rallies were the first to be held in person since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fonda has always been known as an activist, first embracing her activism in the ’60s in support of the Civil Rights Movement, and in opposition to the Vietnam War.
Fonda was famously arrested numerous times in 2019 for her climate activism, and even spent one night in jail for staging protests at the Capitol building in Washington DC.
In her first announcement about her cancer diagnosis, Fonda assured fans and friends that she wasn’t shaken by the illness.
“This is a really treatable cancer. 80% of individuals survive, so I really feel very fortunate,” she wrote.
She also pointed to the luxuries she can afford thanks to her status and class. “[I am lucky] as a result of I’ve medical insurance and entry to the very best medical doctors and coverings.”
“I realise, and it is painful, that I’m privileged in this,” she added.
