Jane Fonda, 84, announced on Sept. 2 that she has lymphatic cancer and that she’s well into her chemo treatments. “This is a very treatable cancer. 80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky,” she wrote, showing some optimism. “I’m also lucky because I have health insurance and access to the best doctors and treatments. I realize, and it’s painful, that I am privileged in this. Almost every family in America has had to deal with cancer at one time or another and far too many don’t have access to the quality health care I am receiving and this is not right.” More AboutReese Witherspoon
She then wrote about the lessons she has learned from dealing with cancer. “One thing it’s shown me already is the importance of community. Of growing and deepening one’s community so that we are not alone. And the cancer, along with my age –almost 85– definitely teaches the importance of adapting to new realities,” she stated.
