Olivia Newton-John Says She's 'Thriving' Amid Cancer Battle

Olivia Newton-John is letting her battle with cancer get her down!

The 70-year-old Grease star has teamed up with Dancers Against Cancer – an organization that has raised more than $2 million for dance educators, choreographers, dancers and their families who have been impacted by cancer.

While on set of a PSA for the campaign, Olivia opened up about her battling cancer for the third time.

“I’m doing well. I’m thriving! This is my word,” Olivia shared with People.

Last September, Olivia revealed that she was battling cancer for the third time.

“My cancer journey started in 1992, and I went through surgery and chemotherapy,” Olivia shared. “I was lucky enough to have yoga and massage and homeopathy and meditation, and then I had a spell of years where I was okay. Then I have metastases now.”

“The dance performing community means a lot to me. I’ve always loved dancers and wished that I’d learnt when I was young,” Olivia Newton-John added. “I used to do creative dance, but I never really learned it until I had to dance with Gene Kelly and John Travolta. Lucky me, I got to do Dancing with the Stars long before it was a show.”
