Olivia Newton-John fighting cancer again

-

Olivia Newton-John is battling cancer for a third time. The “Grease” star, 69, revealed on the Australian news program “Sunday Night” that doctors have discovered a tumour at the base of her spine. Newton-John said while she is trying to stay brave, it’s not always easy to avoid falling down the rabbit hole of fear. “I’d be lying if it said I never go there, there are moments, I’m human. So if I allow myself to go there, I could easily create a big fear, but my husband’s always there, and he’s always there to support me and I believe I will win over it, and that’s my goal,” she said. The “Physical” singer was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 the same week her father died of cancer. Her recovery included nine months of chemothera­py, a partial mastectomy and breast reconstruc­tion surgery.
