Early 2021 was when Minogue says she was diagnosed with cancer for a second time, a health battle she kept private until the three-part Netflix documentary released Tuesday.
Routine check-ups led to the diagnosis, and Minogue said early detection was "very helpful"; she disclosed it now to "let go of it" and urge others to keep up screenings.
The 57-year-old said treatment left her feeling like "a shell of a person" and unable to speak publicly even after the success of her 2023 Grammy-winning hit Padam Padam.
Her first cancer diagnosis in 2005 forced her to cancel tour dates and miss Glastonbury, drew intense media scrutiny, and was followed by an all-clear and a return to music.

After calling Michael Hutchence the love of her life, how did his influence define her search for partnership and artistic identity?
With her full cooperation, what difficult truths about the music industry might this 'intimate portrait' strategically leave unsaid?
