Jane Fonda Lymphoma Care, Instagram, September 2, 2022, @janefonda
So, my dear friends, I have something personal I want to share. I’ve been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and have started chemo treatments.
This is a very treatable cancer. 80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky.
I’m also lucky because I have health insurance and access to the best doctors and treatments. I realize, and it’s painful, that I am privileged in this. Almost every family in America has had to deal with cancer at one time or another and far too many don’t have access to the quality health care I am receiving and this is not right.

We’ve been saying this just isn’t right, yet inertia persists. Does Jane Fonda’s voice, representing the lay public, make a difference?
