10 Stars Who Had a Mastectomy, and Not All Are Women

9. Olivia Newton John

Australian singer/actress Olivia Newton John was the poster girl for healthy living, so it came like a thunderbolt when she was told twenty-odd years ago her right breast had a cancerous lump. She underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy followed by a reconstruction with saline implants. The Grease actress has been cancer free ever since. However, she she still goes for annual mammograms to stay on top of her health. “I don’t even see myself as being in remission or as a cancer survivor,” she says. “I feel as if I’m practically in the same position as a woman who hasn’t had breast cancer – I simply have the checks to be on the safe side.”
