OLIVIA TELLS ALL BEFORE SHE DIES!
BRAVE CANCER FIGHTER’S HEARTBREAK, FEARS – AND DREAM TO SEE THE DISEASE WIPED OUT
FACING her third life-anddeath battle with breast cancer, “Grease” legend Olivia Newton-John is baring her secrets and heartbreaks!
The beloved 70-year-old songbird confesses she was terrified by her first cancer diagnosis in 1992 — because she’d lost her father to the disease only months before! “At first I was in denial, and made a lot of jokes to the doctor. From denial though, I moved to cold fear,” Olivia wrote in her forthcoming memoir, “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Her spirit was also tested in 1990 when she and thenhusband Matt Lattanzi “decided to adopt a child from Romania” after she suffered several miscarriages following daughter Chloe’s birth in 1986. But the planned trip ended when she learned her fiveyear-old goddaughter, Colette, had died of kidney cancer. “I was utterly heartbroken,” Olivia wrote. “After Colette passed, I never went forward with the adoption because my hands were full, and my heart took a long time to mend.” Olivia endured another crippling blow when boyfriend Patrick McDermott vanished from a fishing boat off the coast of California in 2005. “I had been through cancer and divorce, but the idea of someone in my life suddenly being gone without a trace left me with an emptiness I hadn’t known before,” she wrote. “The wonderful thing that has come out of this is that his ex-wife Yvette and I became close friends.”
The four-time Grammy winner also revealed filming “Grease” tested her mettle when she couldn’t eat or drink before belting out “You’re the One That I Want!” in her skin-tight black leather bodysuit!
“I was getting dehydrated and might pass out,” she recalled. “They actually had to unstitch me to eat and then re-stitch me after a bathroom trip.”
Since being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in May 2017, Olivia has battled the disease with an unorthodox treatment plan that includes eating organic foods, taking cannabis oil and smoking pot — and she’s determined to beat it!
“My dream is to see an end to cancer in my lifetime,” she wrote. “I truly believe my third time will be the charm.”
