Kylie Minogue says cancer recovery felt like a 'miracle'

Kylie Minogue has opened up on beating cancer.

The singer was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and she fought off the crippling disease after a course of treatment.

Speaking to 60 Minutes Australia, the popstar said that winning her battle with cancer was like a "miracle" coming true.

Minogue said: "Someone said to me at the time, 'Be a little bit selfish', but it's not in my nature to be selfish, but now was the time to do that, to let people take care of you and that's what I did. I learned many things. I know I have strength but when you are fighting something where there are a lot of unknowns there's a mixture of emotions.

"It takes years to get the all-clear so by the time my hair started growing back it was very exciting; it was like a miracle."
