Last July, Jane Fonda was shooting the movie Book Club 2: The Next Chapter in Venice, with Candice Bergen, Diane Keaton and Mary Steenburgen. A few days later, she chained the television interviews in New York. Nothing then suggested the terrible news that the 84-year-old actress chose to publicly announce on Instagram on Friday, September 2.
“I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma“, a cancer of the lymphatic system, “and I started chemotherapy treatments“, announced the Oscar-winning actress. “It is a completely curable cancer. 80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky“, she immediately relativized.
“I am also lucky to have health insurance and access to the best doctors and treatments. I know I’m privileged and it’s sad“, continued the star, flagship supporter of the Democratic Party in the United States, adding that “a lot“of Americans”don’t have access to the quality care I get and that’s not fair“.
