Minogue has helped raise money for breast cancer causes over recent years and one of her skimpiest bras was sold at auction for £2,400 three years ago for Breast Cancer Care. Breast Cancer Campaign spokesman Sangeeta Haindl said: "This is sad news about Kylie, a pop star that many of us have grown up with over the years, who has now been diagnosed with breast cancer. "However, it is important to remember that this is not primarily a young women's disease and there are still 40,470 women diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK each year. "This is why it's important that women are breast-aware and know the risks associated with the disease." BBC News |
