‘Even though the operations and radiation therapies were tough, I got so much strength from seeing so many other patients including kids fighting this horrible disease, and many never left the San Raffaele hospital in Milan again.’
She added: ‘I hope this pic (taken during radiation therapy) Doesn’t offend anyone but helps to get checked once in while even though you’re feeling amazing. Wish you all a healthy and happy life.’
Fans thanked the singer for raising awareness of breast cancer and told her she was a brave woman.

The nineties star explained that the traumatic experience, which saw her give birth at seven months put her off trying for children again, as she ruled out adoption and IVF.
In a new interview, Whigfield said her newborn died in 2000 after just three days and that she’d not spoken about her loss until then.
She said: ‘I had a daughter in 2000 but unfortunately, I gave birth in the seventh month, and she didn’t survive – she survived only three days.
‘So, after that I just didn’t feel like having children. I’m 52 so having children is a bit hard. No, I wouldn’t adopt or have IVF – I just started having animals after that.
‘I started having dogs and today I’m happy I don’t have kids because I see my niece and she’s so much work.’
The singer revealed that she’s engaged to long-term partner Finn, who’s an Italian music producer, after he proposed last Christmas – but they aren’t in any rush to get married.
