Kylie Minogue still gets angry about her breast cancer battle.

The 'All The Lovers' singer successfully fought the potentially-fatal disease after being diagnosed in 2005 and while she always feels grateful she survived, she admits it's something she will never get over.

She told HELLO! magazine: "Over time, people tend to forget. Not me. Not a day goes by that I don't think about it. I just have to look in a mirror; the scars are mental as well as physical. There are days when I feel incredibly angry; others when I can say to myself, in my unhappiness, that I was incredibly lucky."

Kylie, 44, also says she was "overwhelmed" with the support she received from everyone after she announced her illness.

She said: "In Paris, where I had my treatment, I was in a terrible state and I had no idea how things were going to turn out. People would often come up to me and give me flowers, or wish me good luck. It was really overwhelming. Throughout this time I saw the best - and the worst - in people. Perhaps it was the first time that people understood that I was also just a woman who was suffering, and not just a smiling doll.” - Bang Showbiz
