Kylie Minogue's doctor failed to diagnose cancer · 2008-04-08 20:09
Kylie Minogue has revealed on US TV that the first doctor she saw failed to diagnose she had breast cancer.
The 39-year-old singer, who announced she had the illness in 2005, was speaking on Ellen DeGeneres' chat show, BBC informs.
"Because someone is in a white coat and using big medical instruments doesn't necessarily mean they’re right," said the Australian star.
Minogue added she continued with her Showgirl tour having seen a doctor and told that she was perfectly healthy.
The star said she had heard stories from other women who had been to see a doctor for a diagnosis and were told things were fine.
"I don't want to say that to frighten people but that’s just a fact," said Minogue.
DeGeneres revealed she had had a lumpectomy after finding a lump in her breast.
"I had just had a mammogram and they didn’t find anything and a couple of weeks later I found a lump," she said.
In a warning to other women Minogue said: "You must follow your intuition and if you have any doubt go back again".
