Jane Fonda Diagnosed with a cancer: Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Jane
Fonda, a renowned actress and activist revealed in a message on her verified
social media account that she has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
and has started chemotherapy treatment.
"This
malignancy is highly curable. I consider myself lucky because 80% of people
survive," she composed.
Non-Hodgkin
lymphoma is an immune system malignancy. Asserting that she is "taking the
treatments fairly well," Fonda claimed she will undergo chemotherapy for
six months. She continued, "And, trust me, I will not let any of this
interfere with my climate activism."
Fonda
was motivated to take action against the climate issue by Greta Thunberg, a
teenage environmental campaigner.
Fonda
started "Fire Drill Fridays" in 2019 as a civil disobedience campaign
to bring attention to environmental issues.
Regarding
her diagnosis, Fonda said, "Cancer is a teacher, and I'm paying attention
to the lessons it offers me. "It has already taught me the value of
community, for example. Fostering a deeper sense of community to ensure that we
are not alone. "The necessity of adjusting to new circumstances is
something that both cancer and my advanced age—I'm almost 85—clearly
teach."
The
final season of "Grace and Frankie" on Netflix, starring Fonda, was
completed in April. According to her IMDB page, Fonda is working on more
cinematic projects.
Despite
avoiding the subject of her ongoing work obligations, Fonda vowed to keep up
her campaigning.
The
most crucial period in human history is currently, she wrote, "because
what we do or don't do now will determine what kind of future there will
be." I will not allow cancer to stop me from doing everything I can, using
every tool at my disposal. That includes continuing to build this Fire Drill
Fridays community and finding new ways to use our collective strength to make
the change." "You can depend on me to be right there with you as we
build our army of climate warriors because the midterms are right around the
corner, and they are beyond crucial."
