Kylie Minogue on life after
breast cancer
Monday, October 8th,
2007

Kylie Minogue speaks about her battle with
breast cancer in the November issue of the British Glamour
magazine. I'm not sure why she's on the cover of the Britain
version and the U.S. Glamour has to look at Mariah Carey, but
whatever. The inspirational singer, 39, was diagnosed with
breast cancer in 2005, which led to the postponement of her European
tour. Her diagnosis, treatment, and hospitalization was splashed
all over the media. Even Prime Minister John Howard issued a
statement of support for her at the time. She underwent surgery
and chemotherapy.
She tells Glamour, "When you are stripped of
everything and you have to grow your eyelashes back, grow your hair back,
it's just astonishing. It's hard to express what I've learned from
that, but a deep psychological and emotional shift has obviously taken
place."
"As far as my body goes, I've shrunk to
nothing...I've ballooned - my body is not what it used to be. But
it is the body I am in."
Kylie, who split with hottie actor Olivier
Martinez this year, says that she is still trying to find perfect
harmony between her life and her work, and is still looking forward to
having a family.
"What I believed before my illness has only
been enhanced since, and that's the beauty that comes from
within."
