"OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN POSTPONES JUNE CONCERT DATES
May 30, 2017 - Las Vegas, NV — Olivia Newton-John is reluctantly postponing her June U.S. and Canadian concert tour dates. The back pain that initially caused her to postpone the first half of her concert tour, has turned out to be breast cancer that has metastasized to the sacrum.

In addition to natural wellness therapies, Olivia will complete a short course of photon radiation therapy and is confident she will be back later in the year, better than ever, to celebrate her shows.

"I decided on my direction of therapies after consultation with my doctors and natural therapists and the medical team at my Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia,” says Olivia Newton-John.

There will be no interview requests accepted at this time as Olivia’s focus is on her treatment and healing. Ticket buyers for the upcoming concerts should contact venues directly about refunds. Rescheduled concert dates will be posted at OliviaNewton-John.com in the coming weeks."

I am really, really rooting for her to beat this again. Olivia is an absolute sweetheart, an incredible vocalist and an even better performer.

Hoping she beats it. I love her singing and acting (I am fanatical about Grease).

I do hope Olivia Newton-John can fight cancer...sometimes all the money in the world can't help people...

Praying for Olivia, always loved her music. Saw her in concert back in 2016, even though she was too sick to perform, she still entertained her fans by having a questions/answers session. I thought that was a very class move on her part.

It was definitely a very classy move on her part. I know she really hates letting down her fans which is why she's already wanting to get back to touring in August. I just hope she takes it easy until she has a chance to get well.

Olivia Newton-John Discloses Third Cancer Diagnosis
by Greg Evans
Sept. 10, 2018

Olivia Newton-John disclosed yesterday that she’s battling cancer for the third time. In an interview with Australia’s "Sunday Night" television show, the singer-actress said she has been diagnosed with a tumor at the base of her spine.

“I believe I will win over it,” Newton-John said.

The Grease star was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992, and in 2013, while being treated following a minor car accident, was found to have cancer in her shoulder. Last year she announced that her breast cancer had returned.

The 70-year-old Newton-John told her "Sunday Night" interviewer that she tries not to focus on fear. “I don’t go there,” she said. “I’d be lying if I said I never go there. There are moments, I’m human. If I allow myself to go there, I could easily create that, you know, big fear.”

Newton-John said she’s treating the cancer with a combination of medicine and natural remedies, including cannabis oil for pain.

“My dream is that, in Australia soon, it will be available to all the cancer patients and people going through cancer that causes pain,” she told "Sunday Night".

^^^ According to what is being said in the write up, this new face off sounds more like her fourth one instead of her third.

1.) 1992-Breast Cancer
2.) 2013-Shoulder Cancer
3.) Last Year-Breast Cancer Again
4.) Right now-Cancer In Her Spine

God bless you and her always!!!

Holly

P.S. May she kick the crap out of the sickness once and for freaking all!!!

No, she was diagnosed with breast cancer once but fought it twice.

This new one is her third diagnosis.

JO Sweet Heart · 09-10-2018, 11:13 PM

^^^ Because breast cancer was in her face twice, that is what makes it four times all together that she has had to fight cancer at all.

God bless you and her always!!!
