That's like something off a Victorian death certificate. Just seems odd to be evasive about the actual illness, given that he was a doctor himself and they go into such detail about his specialisations. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth in Asia 90 Posted July 4 " People have this preconceived notion that cancer is a death sentence, but you can now live with it like a chronic illness.

Maybe she can pull a Valerie Harper and live for much longer than people expect. Yes, she does seem like a nice person. She already has done fairly well, lasting 6 years with stage 4 breast cancer. It probably won't become immediately life-threatening until it's in a vital organ (assuming it isn't, already), though she is looking skinny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe she revealed she's been battling cancer (again) since 2013, but that it metastasized in 2017 and spread to her bones at that time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Book 695 Posted September 26 Happy 71st Birthday, Lovely Livvy! I couldn't find any news about her actual health, which wasn't posted here last month. It seems she's still fine: "I'm doing really well and I'm really healthy. It was a challenging year because I broke my sacrum and I had to learn to walk again and everything. But I am strong and I am back and I'm feeling good and loving every minute." https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2019090977482/olivia-newton-john-suprise-evening-oprah-gayle-king/ 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
