KYLIE MINOGUE

Australian pop star, songwriter and former actress Kylie Minogue was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 after being misdiagnosed earlier. Following rounds of radiation, chemotherapy and a partial mastectomy, she was given an all-clear a year later.

As she turned 50 in May, Minogue reflected on her personal battle by in an Instagram post. “This decade also bought the challenge of breast cancer. With the help of family, friends, medical teams and of course all of you, we made it through. There are some great organisations who are there to help those in need such as breast cancer care. If you need an idea for a birthday, here it is,” she wrote.
