Pieces of History
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, outfits from the exhibition will be put up for auction on Nov. 2, but fans in the L.A. area can see the items on display from Oct. 28 through Nov. 1 at the The Standard Oil Building Beverly Hills.
A Good Cause
Part of the proceeds from the iconic star’s auctioned-off collection will go to benefit the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre in Australia.
Shocking Diagnosis
She began her tough fight against cancer in 1992. At the time, she was feeling extreme exhaustion. Then she felt a lump in her breast during a self-examination. A mammogram and a needle biopsy didn’t show any signs of trouble, but she still felt something was wrong so she asked for a surgical biopsy. That’s when doctors finally discovered she had cancer. Newton-John had a mastectomy and underwent six months of chemotherapy.
More Bad News
Sadly, the dreaded disease returned and spread to her shoulder in 2013.
Determined to Live
The “Physical” singer was hit yet again with a devastating stage 4 cancer diagnosis in 2017. “I truly believe this will be my final round with cancer,” the hopeful star insisted. “I truly believe it will be like last time and I will go on with my life.” She has stunned doctors by staving off what is almost a certain death sentence.
