Minogue, 39, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2005, credits her ex-boyfriend Olivier Martinez and pal William Baker for helping her through the hard times.

She says, "I am constantly being reminded of those experiences, not only because people ask me about them, but also because they're a part of my life."They're a part of the experiences that make up who I am. It would be great if I could put all these experiences in a box and tie a ribbon around it. But it's not as simple as that, much as I want to believe everything is over. I learned that you never get back to a normal state".
