She described more of her journey with chemotherapy, adding: "I'm especially happy because while my first 4 chemo treatments were rather easy for me, only a few days of being tired, the last chemo session was rough and lasted 2 weeks making it hard to accomplish much of anything."

Jane went on to describe the effects of her treatment on her latest Fire Drill Fridays set of protests and marches in Washington DC and beyond.
