Kylie Minogue's parents want her home
Oct 12, 2005, 11:42 GMT
Kylie Minogue's parents are begging her to return to Australia to complete her cancer treatment - because they are worried she has become obsessed with alternative medicine.
The singer, who is battling breast cancer, has been living in Paris with actor boyfriend Olivier Martinez in recent months to receive chemotherapy treatment at world-renowned cancer hospital, the Institute Gustave Roussy.
But Kylie has also turned to alternative therapies to try and beat the disease, and has begun drinking vitamin-rich vegetable and fruit smoothies to combat her illness. The 37-year-old star's weight has now dropped to just six stone and her worried parents, Ron and Carol, are now urging her to turn her back on the treatment and come home to Australia where they can care for her. A family friend revealed to Britain's Grazia magazine: 'Kylie has not been eating properly and we are all hugely worried about her health. 'Her parents are shocked at how frail she looks and are worried the alternative doctor she is seeing is not the right person to treat her. They think she needs proper nourishment to fight the cancer.' However, Kylie is said to be reluctant to return to her native country because she is too weak to fly.Copyright 2005 BANG Media International
