Kylie Minogue Surgery Reported Successful
MELBOURNE, Australia - Australian pop star Kylie Minogue had a cancerous lump successfully removed from her breast and doctors are confident they caught the disease early enough to prevent it spreading, a surgeon announced Saturday.
Dr. Jenny Senior said the 36-year-old underwent surgery Friday afternoon at the St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Hospital in her home town of Melbourne.
"Kylie has been the perfect patient and has charmed all my staff," Senior said, reading from a prepared statement. "I just wish I could have met her under happier circumstances."
Earlier Saturday, a cancer charity official said fans sent $6,035 to a special fund set up by an Australian charity, after they were encouraged to donate to cancer research rather than send flowers and cards.
