Jane Fonda announces her cancer is in remission

Jane Fonda, the actress and activist whose career spans back to the 1960s, announced Thursday that her cancer is in remission. Fonda had been diagnosed with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, she revealed in September.

"Last week I was told by my oncologist that my cancer is in remission and I can discontinue chemo," the 84-year-old "Grace and Frankie" star wrote in a blog post titled "Best Birthday Present Ever." Fonda thanked everyone who "prayed and sent good thoughts my way."

Fonda also used the announcement to draw attention to her environmental activism.
