Kylie Minogue Braves Constant Exhaustion In Post-Cancer Battle

Kylie Minogue says her breast cancer battle has left her constantly exhausted.

The Australian singer - who was diagnosed with the potentially killer disease in May 2005, and underwent gruelling chemotherapy treatment before being given the all clear in 2006 - has to be "reasonable" with the amount of work she takes on because her body can't cope with too hectic a schedule.

Kylie - whose new single '2 Hearts' is out this week followed by her latest album 'X' - said: "I'm feeling good. I mean, obviously there's a lot going on right now, and I kind of get home and fall onto the couch, but I have to be a little reasonable with myself.

"It can be a struggle, but that's my path at the moment and it just makes me all the more appreciative about being here, and doing a job I love, and getting all the support I have had and that I do have."

Kylie also revealed she never considered quitting pop music when she was battling cancer, because she doesn't know how to do anything else.

She added in an interview with Britain's BBC Radio 1: "You do hear stories about people who, after illness or any life changing event, decide to chuck in their job, and I found it really reassuring that this is what I do.

"Let's face it, I'm totally unqualified to do anything else, and in some respects I feel like I'm just starting to get into my stride with it. Then again, I could change my mind in a month or so, but I doubt it!"
