Following the first stage of her breast cancer treatment, Kylie Minogue has made a statement on her fans on her website. The star wrote, "I would just like to take a moment to say that above and beyond all your good wishes that keep flowing in and lifting my spirits I was delighted to learn that some good things have come of all this." The singer also talked about the impact her illness has had on other women. "I've been informed that since my diagnosis thousands of women have become more aware than ever of the risk of breast cancer. By way of example, calls to BreastScreen Victoria from concerned women have almost doubled." "Please don't believe everything you have read as rumours of my condition and treatments are rife and generally incorrect." The 36 year-old singer was diagnosed with breast cancer last month. Since then, she has undergone treatment, including surgery and a short course of radiotherapy in Australia. She is said to be returning to Europe shortly, where she will undergo further treatment. |
