Sonique and Breast Cancer


Singer and DJ Sonique will have months of chemotherapy to treat her breast cancer, her spokesman has said.

Sonique has undergone two operations
The singer, whose real name is Sonia Clarke, was diagnosed with the disease earlier this month and underwent two operations last week.
Her spokesman, Stuart Watts, said: "Sonique's second operation has been successful and five months of chemotherapy will now follow."
The music star underwent surgery last Monday but doctors found the cancer had spread.
She went back into the operating theatre on Saturday.
The singer turned 41 yesterday and was said to be spending the day with her family.
Her new single, World Of Change, was due to be released next month and she had planned to Europe this summer.
Whether these will still go ahead will depend on her health.
Sonique, who was born in Crouch End, London, started her music career as a teenager with a reggae band Fari.

Kylie also battled breast cancer
In 2000 she hit the big time when her song It Feels So Good stayed at the top of the charts for three weeks.
She follows a list of famous women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer in recent years.
Kylie Minogue, Anastacia, Cynthia Nixon, Sheryl Crow and Olivia Newton-John are just some of the women who have fought public battles against the disease.
