Actress and activist Jane Fonda says her cancer is now in remission.
Fonda announced she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in September and began chemotherapy at that time.

“Last week, I was told by my oncologist that my cancer is in remission and I can discontinue chemo. I am feeling so blessed, so fortunate. I thank all of you who prayed and sent good thoughts my way. I am confident that it played a role in the good news,” Fonda wrote in a blog post titled “Best birthday present ever.”
Fonda said despite dealing with cancer, her liberal political activism was not derailed.

“The effects wore off just as I went to D.C. for the first live, in-person Fire Drill Fridays rally. Thank heavens for that because it was a busy week. Besides the rally, I did some lobbying and spoke twice at the Democracy Alliance, all in an effort to stop Sen. Joe Manchin’s side deal which climate activists call the Dirty Deal. This deal, called ‘permitting reform,’ seeks to fast-track fossil fuel projects, does great harm to bedrock environmental protections, and curtails the public‘s ability to have input, basically throwing marginalized communities disproportionately burdened by fossil fuel pollution under the bus.”
This was not Fonda’s first cancer victory. The self-proclaimed “sun-worshipper” said she previously battled skin cancer. The news comes as she’s also promoting her new movie.
