Golden Globe-winning actress Jane Fonda has revealed she has been diagnosed with cancer at the age of 84.

The veteran actress revealed in a post on Instagram that she has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and she has started chemotherapy.

She explained that it is a “very treatable cancer” for which she feels “very lucky”.

Fonda, a lifelong activist, used the announcement to raise the issue of how many Americans “don’t have access to quality health care” due to insurance troubles as well as discussing the effects fossil fuels can have on people’s health.
