In an Instagram post Friday, the 84-year-old Fonda wrote that the illness 'is a very treatable cancer,' noting that '80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky.'

Oscar-winning actress and activist Jane Fonda announced Friday that she has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and has been undergoing chemotherapy treatments for the past six months.

"I'm also lucky because I have health insurance and access to the best doctors and treatments," she wrote."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."

Fonda is a seven-time Oscar nominee, winning best-actress prizes for"Klute" in 1972 and"Coming Home" in 1979.
