OLIVIA Newton-John has revealed her cancer tumours have shrunk as she readies for a return to the stage.

The 71-year-old, whose breast cancer returned and spread to her lower back three years ago, has credited the use of medicinal cannabis and natural therapies for the dramatic turnaround.

“When people hear metastatic breast cancer or cancer there’s still this stigma that people don’t believe that you can recover — well, you can,” Newton-John said. “There are ways.

“I know lots of people who have been given really terrible diagnoses who have done really well with the right treatment and they’re not always chemo and radiation either.”

Newton-John — made a Dame late last year — is returning to the stage for the first time since cancelling all touring plans in 2018.

She will sing a duet with John Farnham at the Fire Fight Australia bushfire charity concert in Sydney on February 16.

“I’ll probably be a bit nervous, it’s been a while,’’ she said.

The beloved singer revealed the famous Grease jacket she auctioned last November for her Melbourne wellness centre would now be displayed there after the successful bidder — an anonymous tech billionaire who paid more than $350,000 — returned it.

“He said to me: ‘Sometimes in life there’s things that belong to people. This shouldn’t be hanging in a billionaire’s closet. Therefore I’m giving it back to you,’’’ Newton-John said.

“I just thought: ‘Are you serious? Are you really doing this?’

“It was such a kind, generous, unbelievable thing to do for me.”

Newton-John is also Melbournebound to watch daughter Chloe Lattanzi perform on Dancing with the Stars and plans to continue her work lobbying the Morrison Government to legalise cannabis for medicinal use.

Her Cancer Wellness and Research Centre will launch trials of medicinal cannabis this year.

“I’d love patients in Australia to have the capability of getting it when they need it,’’ Newton-John said.

“Hopefully those studies will help with the government that seems to be a long way behind the rest of the world, well at least America.

“It’s been so incredible for me. “If I hadn’t had the experience I’m having with cannabis I wouldn’t be able to talk about it.

“My tumours are receding or they’re going away or they’re staying the same, on a Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer — that’s pretty amazing

“So I’m advocating for it and we’re helping a lot of people with it. For me the proof is in the pudding and I’m the pudding.

“I believe a holistic combination of using everything that is available is the way to go for me.”

Olivia Newton John vient de donner aux fans une très bonne et incroyable nouvelle concernant sa bataille contre le cancer, révélant que ses tumeurs cancéreuses ont rétréci.

La star s'est entretenue avec le Herald Sun alors qu'elle se prépare à revenir sur scène aux côtés de John Farnham lors du concert Fire Fight Australia à Sydney le 16 février. Elle attribue son incroyable état de santé au cannabis médicinal et aux thérapies naturelles.
"Quand les gens entendent un cancer du sein métastatique ou un cancer, il y a toujours cette stigmatisation selon laquelle les gens ne croient pas que vous pouvez vous rétablir, eh bien vous pouvez", a déclaré Newton-John.

"Il y a des moyens." "Je connais beaucoup de gens qui ont reçu des diagnostics vraiment terribles, qui ont très bien réussi avec le bon traitement et qui ne font toujours pas de chimio ni de radiothérapie."

Olivia a récemment révélé que son centre de cancérologie et de bien-être ira de l'avant et testera le cannabis médicinal cette année.

"J'adorerais que les patients australiens aient la capacité de l'obtenir quand ils en ont besoin", a révélé Newton-John. "

" J'espère que ces études aideront le gouvernement qui semble être loin derrière le reste du monde. , enfin au moins l'Amérique. "
"Si je n'avais pas eu l'expérience que j'ai avec le cannabis, je ne pourrais pas en parler."

"Mes tumeurs reculent ou disparaissent ou restent les mêmes, à un stade 4 cancer du sein métastatique - c'est assez étonnant. "

NEW IDEA

Vu dans la dernière édition du magazine australien : BINDI & CHLOE’S BIG PLAN
Five years ago she won Dancing with the Stars in the US, and now Bindi Irwin is no doubt lending her support to Chloe Lattanzi as she makes a bid for the top spot on the Aussie reality show.

Chloe has been pals with the Irwin family for many years, with her mother Olivia Newton-john a close friend and long-time supporter of Bindi’s mum, Terri Irwin.

ONJ was the opening performer on Steve Irwin Day at Australia Zoo in 2007, then paid tribute to Terri four years later, calling her “such a special woman” when she was honoured on This Is Your Life.

And in 2016, Bindi and Olivia joined forces to raise money for cancer research by taking part in Melbourne’s

Wellness Walk and Research Run. The following year, Bindi sent birthday wishes to the Us-based star, posting: “Love you so much. Your strength and grace inspired the world.”

Last week Chloe also took to Instagram to pledge her support to her good friend amid the Australian bushfires. She posted a picture of Bindi holding a koala, alongside the caption: “I admire and love the Irwin family so much.”

Chloe, whose father Matt Lattanzi was also a dancer and actor, is tipped to be one of the show’s fiercest competitors. Already a skilled dancer, Chloe regularly attends pole dancing classes and recently admitted on Instagram that dancing was her “true place”.

She added on another post: “I love to move my body. It is therapy for me.”

Until moving to Portland, Oregon, in 2016 to work alongside her partner James Driskill in his medical marijuana business, Chloe was based in LA where she was attempting to carve out a career in acting and singing.

The 34-year-old has been very open about her past struggles with drug addiction and anorexia.
In 2016 she opened up about her lack of self-worth during an interview with Access Hollywood, while promoting her debut album.
“I just wasn’t enough, simply put. No matter what I did I just wasn’t enough,” she admitted.

After Bindi’s stellar win on the American version of DWTS in 2015, the young wildlife warrior could be giving her pal Chloe some sage advice on how to win the popular show.

“Completely having to unlearn the way I used to dance: I love pushing myself, and sometimes I have those moments ‘omg can I do this? I’m a freakin amateur at this! I’ve never done any of this style of dance! I’m insane!’,” Chloe admitted on Instagram.
