She’s speaking out. Last month, rumors swirled that Olivia Newton-John's breast cancer had spread to her lower back, leaving fans worried about the well-loved actress and singer. Now, she's ready to share her story. In a heartfelt and candid interview on Channel Seven's Sunday Night, Olivia revealed that this isn't the first time she's faced this battle—she actually dealt with the disease five years ago, keeping it a secret from the public. Let’s dive into her journey and how she’s handling everything now.
A Secret Battle: Olivia’s Cancer Diagnosis
Olivia, now 69, shared that her second battle with cancer started back in 2013. It all began after a minor car accident when she noticed a lump on her right shoulder, according to the Daily Mail. Initially, she thought it was just an injury from the crash, but after undergoing tests, she discovered that her cancer had returned. Olivia decided to keep this second diagnosis private, explaining, “I thought, 'It’s my life,' and I just decided to keep it to myself.” Her strength and resilience are truly inspiring, and she’s now ready to share her experience with the world.
Facing Cancer for the First Time
Olivia’s initial battle with breast cancer dates back to 1992. She bravely fought and overcame the disease, living cancer-free for almost two decades. Unfortunately, her second diagnosis in 2013 wasn’t the end of her journey. Last year, doctors found another tumor at the base of her spine, forcing her to cancel a series of concerts in May 2017. At the time, she told fans it was due to sciatica, but later revealed the truth about her recurring cancer. It’s a testament to her courage and determination to keep going despite the challenges.

Staying Positive Through the Challenges
Despite the recent reports that Olivia’s cancer had spread, she’s not letting fear take over. In her recent interview, she opened up about her ongoing treatment and her commitment to staying positive. Olivia credits her loving husband, John Easterling, for being her rock through this difficult time. She explained, “I don’t go there. I’d be lying if I said I never go there—there are moments, I’m human. But if I allow myself to go there, I can easily create that big fear. My husband is always there, and he’s always there to support me. I believe I will win over it. That’s my goal.”
