Even 18 years after her cancer, Kylie Minogue (55) is still struggling with the trauma that the disease has left her with. In an interview with "CBS News " broadcast on Sunday, the singer is close to tears when the presenter asks her about this experience.
Minogue was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. The memories of this time are still present, says the singer. "You have to move on, you have to get on with things, but...", she begins in the interview, but is unable to finish the sentence. When asked if it was fear that was making her so emotional, Kylie replies: "It's a trauma. And every trauma is inside you."
Minogue: Cancer was "amazing too"
She added: "The experience of a cancer diagnosis will live on in me. It was difficult. But it was also amazing." Minogue also explains why the experience had also been "amazing": "What's amazing is being very aware of your body, the love that surrounds you, your abilities, all of those things."
