Kylie's breast cancer.

Literally just woke up to the radio news that Kylie Minogue has cancelled the continuation of her present tour in Australia, due to the fact that she has breast cancer.

Very shocking news, how old is she, 36/37?

At what age do regular breast screenings start for women on the N.H.S. unless there is a history of breast cancer in the family?

First Caron Keating's sad death last year, now this shocking news about a vibrant, beautiful, seemingly very healthy young woman.

Wishing her a full and speedy recovery.

In answer to your question garinda breast screening is from the age of 40 every 3 years unless as you say there is an history of it in family.

Thanks Aquarius thats what l thought.

If this raises any awareness of younger women's need to be doing self examinations, this is it.

Perhaps the age at which breast screening is available to all should be lowered?

Men, same advice re: your 2 veg!

Re: Kylie's breast cancer.

How does one get breast screening? I am 49 and have never been screened. Do I make myself an appointment, if so with whom?

Defo call your G.P.

I thought women were automatically offered this option when they reached 40. Mistakes do happen though, make sure you've not slipped through.

I'm told it's a bit uncomfortable having your boobs squashed for a few minutes, but well worth it, if it mean's early detection, which is so much easier to treat.

Have just rung GP and was told that breast screening is automatic after age 50 unless specifically requested.

Kylie is a year and a day older than me. She was born 28th May 1968.

I do hope she's caught it early enough though. I was not a fan of the SAW music machine when she was in it. but recently her music is superb.

Re: Kylie's breast cancer.

I'm sorry to hear that Kylie's got cancer,as someone say's the big C is no respecter of age,wealth,fame etc and can strike anyone down,there is always hope that if you treat it soon enough you can beat it, I've lost friends and family with cancer and I hope Kylie gets well soon!

Kylie

It is a shock to see somebody as fit and healthy as Kylie having the big C. It just goes to show that cancer can affect anyone young or old rich or poor. I too hope she has found it in time.

Simon men can get breast cancer as well as women according to doctor Chris Steele on This Morning a couple of years back

I'm not a fan of Miss Minogue but it's a real shocker, I hope they have caught it quick enough and wish her a speedy recovery. There are success stories with breast cancer, Anastacia battled aginst it and won in 2004.
