"I know there will be X amount of women being diagnosed. I love to say, You can get through it. You can"
About this Quote
Minogue’s power here isn’t in polished metaphor; it’s in the blunt mechanics of survival talk. “I know there will be X amount of women being diagnosed” sounds almost clinical, even awkwardly statistical, and that’s the point. She’s refusing the comforting fantasy that illness is rare, random, or safely distant. The placeholder “X” turns diagnosis into a grim constant: not a horror story that happens to “someone,” but an ongoing pipeline that will keep pulling people in.
Then she pivots: “I love to say, You can get through it. You can.” It’s not inspiration-poster language so much as a performer’s instinct to meet an audience where they are. The phrase “love to say” signals intention and repetition: she’s practiced this line because she knows it will be needed again and again. The doubled “You can” is the tell. It’s a self-interruption that reads like emotion breaking through a prepared statement, a tiny stutter that feels human rather than branded. It also functions like a chant, the kind of simple refrain that sticks when your brain is fogged with fear.
Context matters: Minogue, a pop figure whose career is built on control, glamour, and stamina, is speaking from the other side of breast cancer. The subtext is solidarity without sentimentality. She’s not promising victory or neat closure; she’s offering permission to imagine an after. That’s a quieter, more durable kind of hope.
