Linda Nolan has sadly revealed that her cancer has spread to her brain.
The Dublin native has said she was “shocked and scared” after being told the news by her doctor.
Linda shot to fame back in the ’70s with her sisters in the band The Nolans before being diagnosed with liver cancer in 2005.
That was not the only time the disease striked the Nolan family, with Linda having lost her sister Bernie to breast cancer in 2013, and her husband to skin cancer back in 2007. While 2020 saw the third recurrence of the disease for Linda.

Her sister Anne, however, was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time three years ago and is now cancer-free.
The 64-year-old has now revealed that she will be using a wheelchair and is moving in with her sister Denise due to having issues with her balance.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Linda shared: “Unfortunately, sadly for me, my cancer has now spread to my brain, and which I only found out on Monday.
“And that’s obviously very frightening because there isn’t much out there for brain cancer at the moment, apart from radiotherapy, which I’m going to be having.
“But there is a new drug that’s been in use for a year, for brain cancer, and they’re going to try me on that as a [chemotherapy] drug with some other treatment.”
Linda went on to insist that she is “not giving up” and is remaining “positive” about the future.
“We’re getting everything and [I’ve] bought a wheelchair, we’re getting stuff ready for the inevitable. Really scary, scary trip to be on, this one,” she added.
Our thoughts are with Linda and her family during this challenging time.
