Jane Fonda has shared a health update after being diagnosed with cancer.
The Grace and Frankie star confirmed she had been undergoing treatment for non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in September.
In a lengthy post at the time, the Hollywood actor said she had started chemotherapy and said it was a ‘very treatable cancer’, adding: ‘80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky.’
On Thursday, the 84-year-old informed her followers she had been told last week by her oncologist that the cancer was in remission and she was able to discontinue chemo.
She wrote: ‘I am feeling so blessed, so fortunate. 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.
‘I’m especially happy because while my first 4 chemo treatments were rather easy for me, only a few days of being tired, the last chemo session was rough and lasted 2 weeks making it hard to accomplish much of anything.’

Jane posted a picture of herself and other activists protesting the climate emergency, adding in the caption that she had been lobbying in an effort to block ‘Senator Joe Manchin’s side deal which climate activists call the Dirty Deal.’
The acting legend made her Hollywood debut in 1960, in Tall Story, and has been a staple of our screens ever since, going on to star in Sunday in New York, Fun with Dick and Jane, Coming Home and Julia among her many, many credits.
In 1969, she landed her first Oscar nomination for They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, and took home the best actress gong two years later for her role in Klute, before winning her second coveted statue thanks to 1978 flick, Coming Home.

Outside of showbiz, Jane is renowned for her relentless activism and was famously arrested on the steps of the US Capitol building in 2019 after taking part in a climate change protest.
‘I’m going to take my body, which is kind of famous and popular right now because of the [television] series and I’m going to go to DC and I’m going to have a rally every Friday,’ she said at the time.
