Where was Olivia Newton-John’s cancer?
After the release of her Back to Basics: The Essential Collection 1971–1992, Newton-John was diagnosed with breast cancer.
She later recovered and became an advocate for breast cancer research and other health issues. She was also a product spokesperson for the Liv-Kit, a breast self-examination product.
After this, the cancer returned in 2013, though she privately battled it.
In May 2017, it was announced that her breast cancer had returned and metastasized to her lower back. These pains had initially been misdiagnosed as sciatica and this was her third bout with breast cancer.
The cancer then spread to her bones and progressed to stage IV. Due to this, she experienced a great deal of pain from the metastatic bone lesions and resorted to using cannabis oil to ease her pain.
In August, she succumbed to the sickness and passed away at her home in California.
