ET: Jane Fonda Says She Survived Breast Cancer

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Actress and fitness icon Jane Fonda has revealed she has breast cancer, according to Entertainment Tonight.

The 73-year-old actress says she discovered a small tumor in her breast during a routine checkup. The cancer turned out to be non-invasive and Fonda underwent a procedure a few days ago to remove the tumor.

She says she is now cancer free.

Fonda is promoting her newest fitness DVD and plans to relaunch her Fonda Workout brand with a series of DVD and workout equipment on Dec. 26.
