Australian pop superstar KYLIE MINOGUE has beaten breast cancer and is in "full remission", according to her singer sister DANNII.

The I BELIEVE IN YOU hitmaker, 37, was diagnosed with the disease in May last year (05), and immediately underwent surgery to remove a lump before beginning an intensive chemotherapy course.

Dannii revealed her elder sibling's good news on her website.

She writes: "My best news to start the new year is that my sister has had her 'full remission'. Last year was a difficult year for many people - I'm just happy we have a close family and could all support each other."

The news means Kylie's body is free of cancer cells - but doctor's can't guarantee she is completely cured until she has been in remission for five years.

Kylie Minogue is finally in full remission from her breast cancer according to her sister Danni.

The Can't Get You Out of my Head singer was diagnosed with breast cancer last year after doctors found a malignant tumour, which was swiftly removed. She then underwent an extensive course of chemotherapy.

However, it seems to have paid off, as her sister Danni has now announced on her website that "My best news to start the new year is that my sister has had her 'full remission'."

She continues: "Last year was a difficult year for many people - I'm just happy we have a close family and could all support each other."

The news means Kylie's body is free of cancer cells - but doctors cannot guarantee she is completely cured until she has been in remission for five years.

Good for her. Now stop with the PS!

I hope this good news story gives other breast cancer patients hope and encouragement that it's not automatically a death sentence. With early detection and treatment it CAN be beaten.

Remember ladies - have those mammograms!

apologies for double thread as I did a search of 'Kylie Minogue'

It's ok! It happens all the time.

I didn't think this was correct? Cancer experts here have been saying it isn't possible to be in full remission so soon.

A*O · February 3rd, 2006, 03:30 AM

Oh she's not 'cured' as such - just that the meds are working. So fingers crossed.

Elisa · February 3rd, 2006, 08:43 AM

I'm very happy for her. 2005 was a trying year. I wish good things for her in 2006.

Hopefully in 5 years time, she'll be considered cured.

pierresgirl · February 3rd, 2006, 08:55 AM

YAY!!!!!! I really hope she is!

Like the article says, "full remission" doesn't come until after 5 years of being cancer free. She's technically "cured", she's currently free of cancer... but it can come back.
