Healing in privacy. Olivia Newton-John opened up about why she kept her second bout with breast cancer to herself.
The star, 70, told the show in an interview that will air on Friday, March 8, that she wanted to avoid “speculation.”
She elaborated: “I just decided I wanted to go through it myself. And I did a lot of natural healing and a lot of herbs that my husband [John Easterling] made for me.”
Newton-John revealed in September 2018 that she was battling the illness for the third time in three decades. “I’m one of millions in this fight … in this journey,” she said on Australia’s at the time. “A lot of people see it as a fight, and [however] you choose to see it, that’s your prerogative. … I see it as part of my mission.”
The actress explained that a tumor was found on her lower back in 2017. Furthermore, she shared her natural treatment methods. “A lot of cannabis, my husband grows for me. In California, it’s legal to grow a certain amount of plants for your own medicinal purposes,” she noted. “He makes me tinctures … and they help with pain, they help with sleep. So, I’m very lucky that I live in a state where it’s legal and that I have a husband that is a plant medicine man.”
Newton-John previously battled breast cancer in 1992 before undergoing a partial mastectomy and reconstruction surgery. She was diagnosed with the illness for a second time in 2013.
The “Physical” songstress kept a positive outlook amid her health struggles. “I’m not going to be one of those statistics, I’m going to be fine,” she told Australia’s show in September 2017. “I’ll probably deal with this in my life as an ongoing thing. I think that you can live with cancer like you can live with other things if you take care of yourself.” ( Source US Weekly )

The Courier-Mail
8 Mar 2019
OLIVIA Newton-John has opened up about the shocking rumours that spread around the globe in January that the Australian star was near death. In a new interview with People magazine in the US, the singing icon (pictured) revealed that she has actually spent the past six months quietly recovering from a cancerinduced pelvic fracture. “Those things are so stupid. Why not just go, ‘Here I am, and I’m fine!” she told the magazine when explaining why she immediately uploaded a denial message to social media. “We just nipped it in the bud.”
Newton-John was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 and it returned in 2013. She’s now in the midst of treating stage 4 breast cancer, which spread to her sacrum.
She fractured her pelvis in September when taking part in a cancer walk for her Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne.
She was admitted to hospital for more radiation, missing out on a planned 70th birthday celebration, and is recuperating at home in LA with her husband.
