Linda Nolan has announced that her cancer has progressed to her brain, marking the fourth time she has been diagnosed with the disease.
As a member of The Nolans with her sisters, Linda, 64, revealed last week on Good Morning Britain that she had been diagnosed.
“This is obviously incredibly worrisome, as there are currently few treatments for brain cancer outside radiotherapy, which I will undergo.”
She stated that she will take a “miracle medicine.”
The singer would not name it, but said,
“There is a new medicine for brain cancer that has been in use for a year, and we’re going to try that as a chemotherapy in conjunction with other treatment.”
Throughout the 1970s, she and her sisters Bernie, Maureen, Anne, Coleen, and Denise established a singing group. I’m in the Mood for Dancing and Don’t Create Waves, both released in 1979, are two of the band’s many singles.
Unhappily, they have also had to deal with multiple cancer diagnoses in their family.
In 2006, Linda was initially diagnosed with breast cancer; in 2017, it returned to her hip. In 2020, she was informed that cancer had progressed to her liver. Also, In 2007, her husband Brian died of skin cancer.
Bernie, who died in 2013 at the age of 52, and Anne, who has been diagnosed twice but is currently in remission, were also both diagnosed with breast cancer.
Linda, who has recently starred on Loose Women and Celebrity Big Brother, stated that it was “terrifying.”
She insisted,
“I am hopeful and will not give up.” She revealed that one of her sisters had remarked, “At least you have some great wigs!” upon learning that she would lose her hair for the fourth time due to chemotherapy.
Yet, she acknowledged that the journey was “very, extremely terrifying.”
She stated that she realized something was wrong following a series of “quite unpleasant falls” and is now confined to a wheelchair and residing with her sister Denise.
The singer had hoped it would be successful “something to do with my spine, as neither my speech nor my vision was impaired.
“I wasn’t experiencing headaches, so it came as quite a surprise when the doctor said, ‘It’s in your brain.'”
Please, God, I pray [the medicine she is using] will work miracles for me.
She stated that she was determined to get around in her wheelchair rather than “feel sorry for herself” at home.
She told Good Morning Britain that she was enjoying some fresh air and “making the most of every day by spending time with the people I care about.”
Gene testing
She did, however, feel “mad” about getting cancer again.
“There are occasions when I am sobbing in the corner. I try not to ask “why me?” since “why not me?” makes more sense.”
“There are so many individuals who are suffering from this dreadful sickness, but I believe I have always spoken about it.
“Maybe I can help a person who is alone by telling them, ‘It’s okay to cry, it’s okay to feel furious, it’s okay to feel sorry for yourself; just don’t let it consume you.'”
She said that she and her sisters had been tested for the BRCA1 cancer gene, which can increase a woman’s risk of developing ovarian and breast cancer, but they were negative.
There will be a gene somewhere, the professor at the genetic testing center said; they simply haven’t identified it yet.
