Jane Fonda has revealed she has been diagnosed with cancer.
In an Instagram post Friday, the “Grace and Frankie” star and two-time Oscar winner, 84, announced she has begun chemotherapy treatment for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
According to Mayo Clinic, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system in which white blood cells cause tumors throughout the body. Treatment can involve chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted drug therapy, immune cell engineering, a bone marrow transplant and immunotherapy.
“This is a very treatable cancer,” Fonda wrote. “I feel very lucky.”
Fonda also expressed gratitude for her health insurance and having “access to the best doctors and treatments” — something she knows many people with cancer don’t have.
