Kylie Minogue Hopes to Appear at Breast Cancer Ball  9/26/05

Cancer sufferer Kylie Minogue is hoping she will be strong enough to guest star at a London charity ball in aid of breast cancer awareness next month (OCT05).

The I Believe in You star is currently undergoing chemotherapy in Paris, France, while staying with boyfriend Oliver Martinez, and the event - held by Cancer Research UK - would be her first public appearance since being diagnosed with the disease in May (05).

A source says, "Kylie is determined to attend the ball. It's for a very good cause and she's aiming to be strong enough to be there.

"She's a real fighter and wants to do her bit for the charity.

"It's unlikely she'll perform but Kylie definitely wants to attend and raise money for cancer research."
