Jane Fonda: "I have a treatable cancer, I am privileged to access treatment"

Jane Fonda has cancer , the legendary actress and activist announced it on social media.

She was diagnosed with non-Hodkin's lymphoma and started chemotherapy, but she considers herself "lucky" in her own way.

“This is a very treatable cancer, 80% of people survive so I feel lucky”, her words.

“I am very lucky - she continues - also because I have health insurance and access to the best doctors and treatments . I realize, and it is painful, that I am privileged in this. Almost every family in America has had to deal with cancer in one way or another and too many people don't have access to the quality of health care I'm receiving, that's not fair. "
