Cancer ‘Devestated’ Family, Minogue
Kylie Minogue tells Britain’s Sky News that her family “fell to pieces” when she was told she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
In the singer’s first interview since her diagnosis and treatment, she says although she wanted to finish her tour, her parents persuaded her to get treatment right away.
“The moment my doctor told me, I went silent. My mum and dad were with me. Then we all fell to pieces. I was saying, ‘No, dad, I’m getting a plane.’ He said, ‘No, you’re not getting a plane. You’ll sit down,’” Minogue says.
Minogue was diagnosed last May, had surgery to remove the tumour, and then had chemotherapy which ended in December. She still has treatments to keep the cancer from recurring.
Her first public appearance since the diagnosis and treatment was at Elton John’s White Tie and Tierra Ball last week.
