Pop star Kylie Minogue has thanked fans for their support, but has warned she faces a long road ahead in her battle with breast cancer.

On her website, Ultimate Kylie, she says: "I am getting through this one step at a time and your messages of love and support have been greatly appreciated. I am being well looked after, though it will be a long road ahead. I will be receiving future treatment on my return to Europe."
