Kylie Minogue says her cancer ordeal left her with “mental and physical scars”




During an interview with Paris Match, pop star Kylie Minogue – who’s singing live on this weekend’s edition of The Voice – has revealed that her battle with breast cancer has left her with “mental and physical scars”.
However brave Kylie, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2005, went on to say that despite having “incredible anger” over her illness, she feels very lucky to have been a survivor, and said she now feels like “a cat with several lives.”
She said, “I feel like a cat, having had several lives. In my career as in my personal life, I made enough bad decisions to land me in deep water.
“Finally, I haven’t got out too badly.”
Of her cancer battle, Kylie added, “Over time, people have a tendency to forget about it. Not me.
“Not a day does not go by without me thinking about it. Just looking in a mirror is enough – the scars are moral and physical.
“There are days when I feel an incredible anger, others when I say that I was very lucky in my misfortune…






“I always try to present an optimistic picture. At first, I look very open, but basically, I’m pretty reserved.
“I knew I was strong, I was fortunate to be surrounded by people who really loved me.”
During her treatment for cancer, Kylie was dating Olivier Martinez, however, their relationship ended in 2007, and she’s currently seeing Spanish model Andres Velencoso, who she says is “the one.”
She told the magazine, “Love is hard work. I have never believed that marriage was the be all and end all.
“There are people who think that a beautiful story will last a lifetime. I tell myself it will last as long as it lasts, I’m less disappointed.
“I’m wiser, more tolerant, less demanding. I am very happy today because Andres totally respects who I am.
“If I’m looking resplendent or I wake up haggard, it is the same.
“And when I go into a spin for no reason, when I feel totally clueless, I ask myself a thousand questions, ‘Who I am, what I want, where I’m going?’ He is there.
“I am cured and very much in love – it helps! Andres is handsome, friendly and also very easy going.”
In 2009, Kylie’s sister, Dannii Minogue, revealed that her sibling’s fight for life had had a tremendous impact on the whole family.
While appearing on Pier Morgan’s Life Stories, former X Factor judge Dannii said, “All I wanted to do was get inside the door of the family home and see my gorgeous sister and hug her.”
This just goes to show as women, we are amazing!

"Hard nipples" - areola or nipple skin

Someone once wrote"... when i get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole things really scrunch up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. it looks really weird and ugly, and i haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. what is wrong with my areola/nipples??" The answer: Well nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does too. It's a normal reaction to the coldness or to irritation / stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a similar goosebump thing as your other skin can do. People often call this phenomenon "hard nipples". Also note that skin on areola has less feeling or sensation to it than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as occur at mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also this v...

Monumental cleavage alert! Did Natalie Portman get a boob job?

Black Swan Oscar winner Natalie Portman has sparked feverish debate about whether or not she's had a boob job, after she appeared on camera at an American football game looking bustier than before. The 31-year-old, who gave birth to son Aleph in June 2011, was watching the game in Austin, Texas during a break from shooting the as-yet-untitled new Terrence Malick film. With co-star Michael Fassbender by her side, a newly blonde Natalie was spotted by the cameras during the ABC broadcast. While it could very well be a push-up bra, or a consequence of breast-feeding her bub, Twitter fans immediately speculated about the star's potentially enhanced assets. "Natalie Portman @ the Texas-Baylor game ... boob job? Looks like it!" one user wrote. "Wait a second, did Natalie Portman get a boob job? Is she pregnant? On the sidelines of Texas game and #wow," another tweeted. Comments on the YouTube clip ran along the same lines, albeit many of them ...

Loosing a parent!

When a Parent Dies: Dealing with the Loss of Your Mother or Father By David Kessler This is spot on. I guess until you go through this you will never know.  #parents #love #grief #davidkessler #survivor #iamstillawoman  When a parent of an adult dies, there is almost an unspoken expectation that it will not hit you head on. An adult is expected to accept death as a part of life, to handle all sudden losses in an appropriate adult manner. But really, what does that mean? That you should not be sad? That you should be so grateful they didn’t die when you were a child that you don’t need to mourn your parent? The above considerations demonstrate an under-estimation of grief. Grief is the reflection of the connection that has been lost. That loss does not diminish because you are an adult or because your mother or father lived a long life. Our society places enormous pressure on us to get over loss, to get through the grief. But how long do you grieve for the man who...
