    Dear Olivia Newton John, I am a cancer survivor of 22 years now. I am sending you well wishes and and many prayers coming your way. I hear your Cancer Center in Melbourne is amazing, you are helping so many people in their fight. I wish you did not have to go through another round of treatment, I pray for your fight. May God Bless you and your family!!!

She’s in my heart with total restoration, completely healed intentions and prayers. Holding hands with her good heart ...what a ⭐️ . I’ll get her book. You GO girl! I’m standing with you, aligned with doing everything we can for as long as we can...wish I lived near L.A. (for the food sourced seems much better than Florida and I miss that).

    Lovely person. I resonate with not using words like 'fight' or ' battle'. Though it may feel terrible to go through cancer treatments and one always hopes to be cured. To live and thrive and love is so much more uplifting and humble. Each day is a gift and even fighters only have the days they are given and only that. Whether fight or treat and love, we are just fortunate to be here. Bless you Olivia, you're work has given me the privilege of your light shining. Shine on some more please.

    “You can be a victim, or you can be a winner” Way to go Olivia, you've always had a positive attitude and one of the reasons you're so beloved by many. I've been a fan since your album, "Have You Never Been Mellow", Grease, and Xanadu. When I think of Olivia, I'm reminded of a childhood song from the Flintstones and these lyrics: "So let the sunshine in, face it with a grin, smilers never lose and frowners never win."

    All the hype that she was on her last breath came at a time when I had my mammogram. And they called me in for another. Then an ultrasound. I was really nervous!
    Whatever was happening to me, I hoped they'd figure it out. This was in January. Just last week I got word I am okay. But it's all a reminder for women to get checked regularly if possible. I'm 51 and my mammograms are once a year.

      Same here. I'm also 51. I had a mammogram come back some months back as needing an ultrasound. The ultrasound then also saw a suspicious area. I remember on my way back from the hour drive my mind was barely wrapping around the possibility of the C word and my car broke down. OH that entire afternoon was just surreal. I then had to go back and have the biopsy done. Even though that came back okay the doctor was still suspicious he had missed something so I then had to go have a breast MRI. It took 3 full weeks to get those results so from start to finish it was close to 2 1/2 months of not having an answer.
      The MRI place had misplaced my results! The absolute relief and joy at finally hearing the results at nothing found was a high like no other.
      It sounds like you went through that same nerve-wracking LONG wait. SO glad yours also ended up okay!
