Jane Fonda has revealed she’s been diagnosed with cancer. In a candid Instagram post on Friday, the 84-year-old actress spoke about her diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and she said she’s already undergoing chemotherapy for the illness: The former model says she feels “lucky” because she has the ability to receive the best doctors and treatments, but feels it’s “not right” many others don’t have the privilege she has: It’s so selfless of her to turn this terrible diagnosis into awareness about different types of cancer and issues with America’s healthcare system.
