She wrote: “Well, my dear friends, I have something personal that I want to share. I have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and have started chemotherapy. “This is a very treatable cancer. 80 percent of people survive, so I feel very lucky.” Jane added that she is “also lucky” because she has “health insurance and access to the best doctors and treatments.” He continued: “I realize, and it’s painful, that I’m privileged in this.

For example, people need to know that fossil fuels cause cancer. So are pesticides, many of which are based on fossil fuels, like mine.” Jane explained that she will receive chemotherapy for six months and so far she is “handling the treatments quite well”. He also vowed that his battle with cancer would not “interfere with my climate activism”. Jane also assured her loyal supporters that she will be “right there” to build her “army of climate champions” as the US midterm elections take place in November. According to the NHS website, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer that develops in the lymphatic system, a network of vessels and glands that spread throughout the body. The lymphatic system is part of your immune system and helps fight infection. The guidance states that the disease can occur at any age, but is more common in people over 75. This is not the first time Jane has been treated for cancer. In 2010, she underwent surgery to remove a non-cancerous lump in her breast and had a mastectomy six years later. In 2018, the mother-of-three had to have a cancerous growth removed from her lip and, the following year, Jane told British Vogue that she “goes to my dermatologist a lot and they cut things off.” Within minutes of Jane sharing her latest health issues, thousands of her friends and fans took to the comments to share their well wishes.
