Olivia Newton-John’s battle with cancer
The legendary entertainer was diagnosed with breast cancer the same weekend her father passed away, leading her to cancel all publicity for her upcoming album. She underwent surgery for breast cancer in 1992. Overcoming the battle against cancer inspired her album, Gaia, which reflected her experience with cancer.
Being open about her cancer experience has earned her a lot of respect and increased her popularity. Together with Austin Health, she created the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Center (ONJCWC). ONJCWC, which is located on the Austin campus in Melbourne, Australia, was opened in June 2012 after Olivia led a group of cancer survivors to raise nearly 200 million people on a hike through the Great Wall of China.
Olivia has been in remission from breast cancer since 1992 but sadly it came back in 2017. Hopefully her fight this time around will be just as successful.
