In her autobiography Don’t Stop Believin’, which goes on sale tomorrow, the 69-year-old reveals she is trying a combination of natural and conventional therapies, and is currently receiving photon radiation therapy.
“Cancer is something I will need to say on top of for the rest of my long life. I truly believe this will be my final round with cancer. I truly believe it will be like last time and I will go on with my life.”
She is also finding medicinal marijuana beneficial, revealing her husband John Easterling has created special strains for her use:
“This has helped me greatly with pain and sleep.
“My dream is that it won’t be long before everyone has access to this healing medicine.”

Olivia wrote that she only underwent chemotherapy after her first diagnosis – and fought a second bout of cancer privately, after being diagnosed following a car accident.
The May 2012 accident saw Olivia complain of pain from a lump in her shoulder, that doctors initially dismissed as a fracture.
“I insisted on additional testing and found the bump was actually a recurrence of my breast cancer.”
Olivia is expected to discuss her cancer returning on tonight’s episode of Sunday Night on Channel 7.
An exclusive with Olivia Newton-John ( @olivianj ) – not to be missed.
