ANASTACIA - ANASTACIA ADVISES MINOGUE TO BE STRONG

Breast cancer survivor ANASTACIA is urging sufferer KYLIE MINOGUE to adopt a positive attitude in her battle to beat the disease.

The LEFT OUTSIDE ALONE star - who bravely conquered the potentially fatal illness in 2003 - appreciates that Minogue will still be in a state of severe shock after receiving the horrific news earlier this week (begs16MAY05).

However, she's confident Minogue will overcome her health scare - but first she needs to mentally prepare herself for the ensuing battle.

She says, "It's obviously a huge shock when you get the news. I just couldn't believe it. I'm sure Kylie's feeling the same right now, but it's important to stay positive.

"I'm sure as it's been caught early she can beat it as I did."
