Jane Fonda Cancer Update: “I Feel Stronger Than I Have In Years”

deadline.com:

Jane Fonda says in a new blog post that three weeks into her chemo treatment for B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma she’s feeling stronger than she has in years and is confident she’ll “come through very well.”“This is not my first encounter with cancer,” Fonda writes. “I’ve had breast cancers and had a mastectomy and come through very well and I will do so again.”Fonda penned the blog post to express her thanks for “all the expressions of love and support” she’s received since she disclosed her diagnosis last week. “Since last week,” she writes, “so many people have written to me or posted that they have had this type of cancer and have been cancer-free for many decades.

Well, I’ll soon be 85 so I won’t have to worry about ‘many decades.’ One will do just fine.”The two-time Oscar winner and political activist also addresses issues dear to her heart: health care and climate change.“As I said in my statement last week,” Fonda writes, “I am painfully aware that the top-drawer treatment I receive is not something everyone in this country can count on and I consider that a travesty.

It isn’t fair, and I will continue to fight for quality health care for all.“Most of you know that I am focused on confronting the urgent climate crisis, caused by fossil fuels, through my ongoing work with Fire Drill Fridays (We just had our 10 millionth viewer last Friday!) and my most recent work with the Jane Fonda Climate PAC….This diagnosis has only made me more determined than ever to continue to end the deadly effects of fossil fuels.”Read her entire blog post below.I have been deeply moved and uplifted by all the expressions of love and support since I made public the fact that I’ve been diagnosed with B-cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
