Just over three months after Jane Fonda announced she had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the actress, activist and former fitness guru said Thursday her cancer is in remission.

“Last week I was told by my oncologist that my cancer is in remission and I can discontinue chemo,” the former Atlanta resident said in a blog post called BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!!

“I am feeling so blessed, so fortunate,” she added. “I thank all of you who prayed and sent good thoughts my way. I am confident that it played a role in the good news.”
