The 38 year-old Australian star revealed the news in her first interview since her diagnosis last year. Minogue said that her first reaction was, "No, I’m getting on a plane", to continue a tour. But her parents, who were with her, said, "No you’re not – sit down."
The interview, which will be televised in England on July 16, was also for the purpose of promoting the singer’s next album.
Minogue, who was undergoing chemotherapy treatments until last December, will be returning to her Showgirl Homecoming tour in Australia next November.
