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."
