When the activist revealed last month that she’s been diagnosed with a “very treatable cancer,” she assured her 1.9 million Instagram followers that she “will not let any of this interfere” with her climate activism.
“So, my dear friends, I have something personal I want to share. I’ve been diagnosed withnon-Hodgkin’s lymphomaand have started chemo treatments,” Fonda said, noting that 80 percent of people survive the disease. “So, I feel very lucky.”
Tomlin praised her longtime pal as “indomitable” after the announcement, telling PEOPLE: “She’s very forthright and talkative about what’s going on with her in all respects.”
