Kylie Minogue: I was misdiagnosed
Kylie Minogue has revealed that the first doctor she saw failed to diagnose that she had breast cancer.
Chatting on US TV, the Australian singer told how she was initially misdiagnosed when she went for a check-up before she embarked on her Showgirl tour in 2005.
Kylie told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: “Because someone is in a white coat and using big medical instruments doesn’t necessarily mean they’re right.”
Kylie added that she decided to continue with the world tour because a doctor has told her she was perfectly healthy. The star heard stories from other women who had been to see a doctor for a diagnosis and were told things were fine, when in fact, they were not.
Kylie said: “I don’t want to say that to frighten people but that’s just a fact. You must follow your intuition and if you have any doubt go back again”.
Kylie has previously spoken about the “anger” she felt after she was diagnosed with the disease in 2005 and how she channeled it into her album X, which reached No.4 in the UK charts last year.
