Jane Fonda kept in our thoughts and prayers
In a brave message uploaded to her social media pages, Fonda expressed confidence about her prognosis and indicated her commitment to raising awareness about the dangers of climate change despite her current health issues.
The 84-year-old was also eager to stress that while her diagnosis was severe, it was highly treatable, and she had already started chemotherapy to combat the ailment. Furthermore, because of medical technology and research developments, Hodgkin’s lymphoma is now regarded as one of the more treatable kinds of cancer, with roughly 85% of all cases successfully treated.
Fonda’s news was received with an outpouring of love from fans, family, and friends alike, who applauded the famous performer for her bravery in fighting for what she believes in, even during this challenging time. Her determination and optimistic outlook will no doubt serve as an example to many others dealing with disease or other issues in their life.
Jane Fonda recently shared in an emotional email to her friends that she had been diagnosed with non-lymphoma Hodgkin’s disease. This type of cancer is known to respond favorably to treatment, and only twenty percent of those diagnosed typically survive, so Jane considers herself fortunate to have been diagnosed. She attributes her good fortune to having health insurance and access to top-tier medical specialists, but she realizes this is not a given in the United States.
