Singer Kylie Minogue appeared on Ellen this week and shared that doctors initially misdiagnosed her breast cancer.
“Listen, this is an opportunity for me to say something that I have not said before,” Minogue said. “I was misdiagnosed initially. So, my message to all of you and everyone at home is: because someone is in a white coat and using medical instruments, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are right."
The singer shared that it was when she went in for a second opinion that doctors discovered that she did indeed have breast cancer.
Ellen also shared that she once had mammogram that doctors could not detect any abnormalities with, but she then found a lump just a "few weeks later" and had it removed.
