However, the accompanying captions are not so glamorous.
“So, friends, I have something personal that I want to share. I have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and have started chemo,” the caption began.
Fonda reassured fans that this form of cancer is very treatable.
“This is a very treatable cancer. 80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky. I’m also lucky that I have health insurance and access to the best doctors and treatments. I realize, and it hurts, that I am privileged in this regard,” he continued. “Almost every family in America has had to deal with cancer at one time or another and too many don’t have access to the quality health care that I receive and this is not right.”

Fonda has long been a social movement activist and political activist.
“We also need to talk more not only about the cure but about the cause so that we can eradicate it. For example, people need to know that fossil fuels cause cancer. So are pesticides, mostly based on fossil fuels, like mine. I did 6 months of chemo and handled the treatment well and, believe me, I will not let any of this interfere with my climate activism,” Fonda wrote. “Cancer is a teacher and I pay attention to the lessons it holds for me. One thing that has been shown to me is the importance of community. Growing and deepening the community so that we are not alone. And cancer, along with my age — almost 85 — certainly taught the importance of adapting to new realities.”

Fonda concluded, “We are living through the most important time in human history because what we do or don’t do now will determine what kind of future it will be and I will not allow cancer to stop me from doing everything I can. , using every tool in my toolbox and that includes continuing to build community these Fire Drill Fridays and finding new ways to use our collective strength to make a difference. Half term is fast approaching, and it’s incredible that you can count on me to be there along with you as we grow our team of climate champions.”
Fonda has been arrested several times for supporting and protesting climate change.

In 2109, the actor was arrested in the US Captiol on charges of illegal demonstration by what he called “very good and professional” police. Her “Grace & Frankie” co-star, Sam Waterston, was also part of the protest.
By the time he was arrested, PBS reported, Fonda said he plans to be arrested every Friday to advocate for an immediate reduction in fossil fuel use. She hopes to encourage other parents to protest as well.
The Chelsea manager commented on the post, “Love you, Jane. Think of you always.”
“Sending you positive vibes and lots of ❤️,” wrote Derek Blasberg.
“I love you so much Jane, I’m sure it will pass soon,” commented another.
