The Nolan sisters struck by cancer
She has been fighting secondary breast cancer since 2017, and it has since spread to her liver.
The star was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016.
In a recent social media post, Linda said: “Not only have I lived to see another year in, I saw it in with my sisters by my side and I couldn’t be more thankful.
“There’s lots of great things planned for 2022 and I can’t wait to share them all with you. Here’s to an amazing year ahead!”
Meanwhile, Anne was told her breast cancer had returned in 2020, after she first battled it in 2000.
She was diagnosed at stage three – the worst stage before it reaches terminal status, stage four.
Thankfully, Anne is now cancer-free after having chemotherapy.
Their sister Bernie died from breast cancer in 2013.
