Singer Linda Nolan, 64, hopes that by taking a new “wonder drug” for her brain tumours, she will be able to keep fighting her battle against cancer following her heartbreaking diagnosis.
The Irish star was first diagnosed with incurable cancer six years ago, when she was told the disease had spread to her brain.
The star was first forced to battle breast cancer in 2005, going into remission the following year.
However, in 2017 she was diagnosed with a secondary cancer in her hip, which spread to her liver in 2020.
Following her devastating health news, Linda has recalled how she was encouraged by doctors not to “compare herself” to her late sister Bernie, who died of breast cancer back in 2013 at the age of 52.
Linda has recently completed 11 radiotherapy sessions and is now awaiting the results of a second MRI scan to see if her brain tumours have shrunk.
At this point, she will start taking the new chemotherapy drug Tucatinib, which she hopes will “give her more time”.
The Nolan family are long familiar with cancer, with Linda having lost younger sister Bernie as well as her husband Brian to the disease.
Meanwhile, eldest Nolan sister Anne, 72, has been battling the illness alongside Linda.
Anne was the first sister to be diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2000, going on to battle stage three breast cancer in April 2020.
The Nolan Sisters are an Anglo-Irish girl group are had a number of hits between 1979 and 1982, including the much-loved song I’m In the Mood for Dancing.
