Jane Fonda has been receiving an outpouring of love and support after revealing her non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma diagnosis on Friday.

She also assured the world her climate activism would continue. “I’m doing chemo for 6 months and am handling the treatments quite well and, believe me, I will not let any of this interfere with my climate activism,” she wrote.
