Olivia Newton-John Confirms Breast Cancer Has Returned

Sad news to report this week – everyone’s favourite Grease star Olivia Newton-John has just confirmed that her breast cancer has returned and has now spread to her back.

The 68-year-old singer/actress first underwent treatment for the disease back in 1992, aged just 43. At the time, she had a partial mastectomy and breast reconstruction following chemotherapy, the Daily Telegraph reports.

A post on her Facebook page read: “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.”

Since she was first diagnosed, Newton-John has been a campaigner for breast cancer research and opened the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne back in 2008.

If you too have just been diagnosed with breast cancer, it can be really difficult to tell your family and friends but the more openly you talk about it the easier others will find it to help you and respond to your needs.

Some people in your life might find it hard to deal with your diagnosis and may try and avoid talking to you, which can be hurtful. Others may also be insensitive or say something inappropriate if they feel awkward, but remember that talking about your diagnosis is an important step towards processing what is happening to you so you can think beyond the disease and how you can move forward afterwards.
