Two-time Oscar winner and humanitarian Jane Fonda disclosed Thrusday that her cancer is in remission and she can discontinue chemotherapy treatment.

The legendary actress and activist shared the news in an Instagram post titled “Best Birthday Present Ever!!!”. She turns 85 later this month.

"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," she stated.

Fonda continued: "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,".

"The effects wore off just as I went to D.C. for the first live, in-person Fire Drill Fridays rally.”

Fonda revealed in September that she had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and that she would undergo chemo treatments for six months.

“This is a very treatable cancer. 80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky,” she wrote then.

In the blog post, Fonda also discusses her recent efforts against proposals to fast-track fossil fuel projects.
