During the televised interview, the “Physical” singer, 70, discussed how she has dealt with her third breast cancer battle. “It’s something that I’m living with, but I don’t see it that way. It’s a choice. Everything’s a choice,” Olivia explained. “‘I see it as something in my body that I’m getting rid of. I don’t talk about a battle or a war. I let it go and tell it to leave and talk to my body and tell it to heal itself.”
Even though she is battling cancer yet again, Olivia is not letting it bring her down or impact her joy. “I think the thing I keep relearning is gratitude and just to relax. Life is not to be rushed through, it’s to be savored and be grateful,” she exclusively told Closer Weekly. “So I’m really, really, happy — I’m maybe at my happiest right now., she continued, adding that it’s the “simple and important things in life,” that keep her going.
We are sending nothing but good vibes Olivia’s way!
