“So just to tell you where I’m at, I’ve had my operation – had a lumpectomy and also a lymph node removal.

Womack said she feels incredibly humbled by everyone who has contacted her.

Womack revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer in August.

Following the death of Olivia Newton-John, Womack confirmed she was now battling the disease.

Womack said meeting the Grease star was a childhood dream come true for her. She posted a photo of them backstage at the West End adaption of Grease.

“Olivia and Chloe had come to see Grease in London and we had dinner together afterward,” she shared.

She also said they had a magical evening in London.

However, she was heartbroken to hear of the Grease star’s death, especially after her recent diagnosis.

“I was so excited and in awe. I now start my own battle with this disease.”

She added, “I am left feeling deeply moved.”
