Kylie plans major public appearances
Saturday, September 24 2005, 10:12 BST -- by Daniel Kilkelly
Kylie Minogue is planning her first major public appearance since undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous lump from her breast.
The Australian singer is determined to attend the Pink Ice Ball, at London's Dorchester Hotel in October. Minogue will be the star guest of the charity event, which raises awareness of breast cancer and research.
"Kylie is determined to attend the ball," a source told The Mirror. "It's for a very good cause and she is 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 that she'll perform but Kylie definitely wants to attend and raise money for cancer research."
Minogue would also like to make an appearance back home, after being nominated for the title of Best Female Artist by ARIA, the Australian Record Industry Association. She wishes to attend the awards ceremony in Sydney on October 23.
"Kylie would do anything to be there but just being a part of it all will make her very happy indeed," a friend added. "She has been feeling pretty low recently, for obvious reasons, but these nominations are just the kind of things which inspire her.
"If she can't get to Sydney, then she'll certainly be sending a message to all of her millions of fans who'll be thinking of her on the night."

Kylie Minogue faces long wait for results

Australian singer Kylie Minogue endured her last session of chemotherapy on Friday (02 September 05) - but doctors have told her she will have to wait two months until they can determine if the treatment has been successful.
The Spinning Around star has been making regular visits to Paris' Institute Gustave Roussy as she battles the breast cancer which forced her to postpone the homecoming leg of her Showgirl world tour in May (05).
A source close to Minogue tells British newspaper the News Of The World, "Kylie is going through hell at the moment. The sessions are bad enough but having to wait for two months to be told whether it was all worth it is just awful.
"But she is very strong and is getting on with her life and trying not to think about it. It's all in the hands of the gods now. She's had the best treatment you can have in the world. She can't do anything else."
