Kylie Minogue is Coping Gracefully With Cancer Treatment  10/5/05

Ailing pop star Kylie Minogue has been praised by her singer sister Danni for coping so "gracefully" with her breast cancer treatment.

The Spinning Around hitmaker, 37, was forced to cancel the Australian leg of her Showgirl tour when she was diagnosed with the illness in May (05).

On British morning TV show GMTV, her young sibling Dannii admitted the Minogue family had been going through "a tough time" since Kylie was first diagnosed.

After having a cancerous lump removed from her breast, Dannii declared Kylie is now doing "really good".

Dannii explained, "It's quite a stressful treatment. She is handling it very gracefully.

"She is very well aware of the floods of love coming in for her and it's very helpful and supportive."

When asked if Kylie had returned to Australia after seeking treatment in France, Dannii replied, "Honoring her privacy, I wouldn't want to go into any details of anything. Obviously, she is getting the best treatment and wishes everyone else can have the same."
