The Grace and Frankie actress broke the news back in September that she had been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and now expects that she’ll be gone ‘sooner rather than later.’
Despite her cancer being ‘very treatable’, Jane, 84, explained that she’s just trying to be ‘realistic’ about the time she has left – and this star clearly has no time to beat around the bush.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Jane admitted: “I’m not going to be around for much longer.
“When you get to be my age, you better be aware of the amount of time that is behind you, as opposed to in front of you. I mean, that’s just realistic.
“I’m ready. I’ve had a great life. Not that I want to go, but I’m aware that it’s going to be sooner rather than later.”
Ever the optimist, is our Jane.
When she first revealed her health news back in September, Jane shared that she had started chemotherapy, and acknowledged how privileged she is to have health insurance and ‘access to the best doctors and treatments.’
Jane also took the opportunity to urge other celebrities to use their platforms to open up discussions about urgent causes.
She wrote to Instagram at the time: “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.
“We also need to be talking much more not just about cures but about causes so we can eliminate them.
