The Grease star revealed she’s sadly battling the unfortunate illness for the second time in late May.
“One of my best friends’ husband said to me, “Congratulations, because now you will grow,'” she shared with Closer Weekly last year of her 1992 diagnosis. “It was really great words of wisdom.”

And now, 25 years later, she can always count on her own husband, John Easterling — whom she married in 2008 — to be there for her during tough times.
“He’s a really caring human,” Olivia, 68, gushed to Closer about her handsome man. “He’s really fun to be with and really calming.” She was also previously married to Matt Lattanzi from 1984 until 1995.

Luckily her daughter, Chloe Rose Lattanzi, 31, is also super supportive of her famous mom. “My mom is fine and the one thing she told me is to keep being creative positive and take my mind off anything negative,” she previously said on social media.
In a previous interview, Olivia revealed she doesn’t resent her past battle with cancer. “I am grateful for the experience because without it I would not have done many of the things I have done in my life. It’s taught me compassion for those going through difficult times,” she said at the time. Get well soon, Olivia!
