The younger the woman is, the harder it is to detect cancer. As women get older the breast tissue thins, making it easier for scans to pick up. So, obviously, the younger the woman the thicker the tissue and the harder it is to know.

My mum had cancer. She died. I don't know much about doctors and stuff but somehow I doubt kylie will survive.

My post wasn't negative..and I was thinking she could be more of an altruist in general. Helping others is the most gratifying work. I don't mean she should become a Mother Teresa for breast cancer or anything like that..but, she's definitely the pinnacle advocate for it at the moment.

Again, I hope she recovers quickly. She's thirty-six years old, from what I understand. I'm thinking it's around the time when ailments begin to emerge..? I'm sure cancer isn't age conscious.

Cong dont take everything to heart..

Sorry - only the first part of my post was in reply to the line from yours that I'd quoted. Your reply wasn't negative :)

The rest was just general disgust at the 'so what' replies that had been posted by other.

I didn't think my post was negative?

Degrading? I never thought of it like that. I supposed it must depend on how you tackle any kind of cancer mentally.

So it's a celebrity, that's no big deal in itself but posting a negative reply in here is a little naff. What if it was just someone on here who had posted a thread about one of their family members. Just curious to know if you'd give the same kind of replies because you wouldn't know them either.

Someone suggested depositing her millions to find a cure but she may already give to this charity if she has a family history of breast cancer. She may well have been at hereditary (sp) risk but it is shocking in someone still so young for this kind of cancer.

You can blame the hippies and voodoo for that one.

She's cancelled her Glasto appearance.

I'm gutted.

No one says you have to care, and your cries of 'why does it matter when a celebrity gets cancer!' have been heard a thousand times before. Fact is, someone got ill, and it's a shame. Because of her high profile it might raise some awareness of the disease and educate a few people along the way, maybe forcing people to get themselves checked, and that can only be a good thing.

Still, if it stops her from singing for a bit, I won't complain too loudly.
