Kylie Minogue, looking rather well indeed, if the pictures in The Mirror are anything to go by, has made her first public appearance since her surgery for breast cancer when she visited children suffering from cancer at the Melbourne Royal Children's Hospital. The planned trip to the hospital was brought forward, apparently, after Kylie saw the news about the London bombing on Thursday. A source told The Sun: "Kylie saw what was going on on the TV and decided she wanted to get up and do something positive. She decided the time was right yesterday and rang the charities she's involved with. The children weren't told she was coming. Their faces lit up."
Kylie hugged and chatted to the young patients, and also gave out signed gifts. A spokeswoman for the hospital said: "She spent a lot of time with the children individually and really connected with them. She had her dad with her and a couple of assistants. They all seemed to be very concerned for her."Dave Rogers of cancer charity, Challenge: "This did Kylie as much good as it did the kids. I think she needed to see other people battling cancer. She seemed to take strength from the fact these kids are fighting it like she is."
Meanwhile sister Dannii recently told ITV.com that she's sure Kylie will make a full recovery, saying "Big Sis is great, she's doing really well and she's going to be fine. She is really lucky. I guess the message she wants to give to people is that she was diagnosed early which makes it totally treatable. Hopefully a lot of other women will benefit from her words."
