Dannii Minogue was visibly emotional as she recounted her sister Kylie's ordeal with cancer.Speaking to Zan Rowe on ABC's Take 5, the pop star spoke candidly about the time when Kylie, renowned for her hit 'Love At First Sight', faced her breast cancer diagnosis in May 2005, which led to a lumpectomy and swift initiation of chemotherapy.Following the successful operation which saw "no recurrence" of the disease, Kylie returned to the spotlight just two months post-surgery with a visit to the children's cancer ward at Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne.
She later headed to France to conclude her chemotherapy, completing it in January 2006, as confirmed by her publicist, reports the Mirror.In a heartfelt moment during the interview, Dannii opened up about watching her sister being taken from stage and visiting her throughout her chemotherapy sessions.
Becoming teary while recalling the tough times, Dannii revealed: "My sister got sick with breast cancer and she was in the middle of a tour." She poignantly described supporting Kylie through her recovery: "I remember her getting carried off stage and stuff.
When I would go and visit her when she was having chemo and was very, very unwell. I would just jump around to music with her."The power of music was a recurring theme as Dannii continued: "It was music that kept us going and she was like, 'I need to finish the tour!' Like, she's so professional.
