Kylie was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and returned to her native Australia to receive treatment.
The star revealed: ‘I was lying there on the trolley and I was suddenly taken by the fact that I was going into a ‘theatre’.’
‘The whole gowning up, the masks, the build-up, the adrenalin, it all felt so familiar. I was under lights. ‘Ah! There’s my spotlight’.’
The petite singer continued: ‘Medicine is so different from my business, but, in some ways, so similar.’
Kylie eventually entered remission and made a musical comeback a year later.
Kylie had previously spoken about her battle with breast cancer in an interview with Piers Morgan.
‘A day does not go by without me thinking about it. Just looking in a mirror is enough – the scars are moral and physical.’
‘There are days when I feel an incredible anger, others when I say that I was very lucky in my misfortune.’
Kylie is returning to the spotlight once more as she takes her place on the judging panel of BBC singing competition The Voice.
