Kylie Minogue realizes that the breast cancer she was diagnosed with, has changed her life forever.
Kylie Minogue will never be "normal" again after her breast cancer ordeal. The '2 Hearts' singer - who was given the all-clear from the deadly disease earlier last year after being diagnosed in May 2005 - admits the illness has changed her life forever.
She said: "I learned that you never go back to a normal state, instead you have to create a new normal state. I have to accept my life for its triumphs and its other sides, take the good with the bad. I experienced a totally new environment. I experienced a world of illness and positive attitudes. The sympathy you're shown can knock you off your feet. These experiences contributed to making me a more mature person."
Kylie, 39, also revealed she suffered from depression when she couldn't work because of her gruelling chemotherapy treatment. Kylie - who completed her postponed 'Showgirl' tour earlier this year after her enforced break - told Scotland's Daily Record newspaper: "I had the feeling I'd been stopped in the middle of a flight. A tour needs to gain momentum. It's just like riding a bike, you need to pedal to gather speed. Suddenly I was torn off the seat, aside from all the other things that happened to me. The depression suddenly came over but I had the goal of continuing the tour and thinking back it was a blessing in disguise. I had to prove I had what it takes to continue what I had done in the past."
