Jane Fonda says her cancer is in remission and she can discontinue chemotherapy [View all]
Just over three months after Jane Fonda announced she had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the actress, activist and former fitness guru said Thursday her cancer is in remission.
"Last week I was told by my oncologist that my cancer is in remission and I can discontinue chemo," she said in a blog post called BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!!
"I am feeling so blessed, so fortunate," she added. "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, 84, said her first four chemotherapy treatments had been "rather easy," with only some tiredness as a side effect. But she said her most recent treatment was more difficult and lasted for two weeks, "making it hard to accomplish anything."
