In a social media post shared on September 2, the star revealed that she was recently diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

At the time she wrote, “This is a very treatable cancer. 80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky,” she shared with fans on Instagram.

She also explained that she’s been undergoing treatments for six months and fortunately, she’s responding well to the treatments so far. She promised that her health condition will not stop her from continuing her climate activism work.

“Cancer is a teacher and I’m paying attention to the lessons it holds for me. One thing it’s shown me already is the importance of community. Of growing and deepening one’s community so that we are not alone,” she continued. “And the cancer, along with my age — almost 85 — definitely teaches the importance of adapting to new realities.”

She accessorized the look with dark gray boots, gold earrings and gold watch around her wrist.
