Linda Nolan admits ‘it’s family time that I will miss’ amid cancer battle

The star has opened up about her future hopes

Linda Nolan has said she would love to visit family in the United States amid her cancer battle.

The singer, 65, has incurable cancer. Linda was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. Sadly it resurfaced in 2017. The cancer has since spread to her brain, bones and liver.

In a recent interview, Linda opened up about her hopes for the future as she shared some family news.

When asked by Woman magazine what her hopes are for the future, Linda said: “Maureen’s son Danny and his wife are expecting another baby.

“I hope I get to meet them. I’d love to visit them in America. Physically I can make the journey but the ticket prices are just so high and I probably wouldn’t get insured.”

She added: “I don’t have a bucket list, it’s just family time that I will miss. I’m realistic, I know I’m going to miss weddings or the younger ones having their own babies. I hope I will see some of them.”

Linda Nolan on side effects of cancer

In her recent column for the Mirror, Linda opened up about her cancer and the side effects she’s experiencing.

She wrote: “At the moment I’m more wobbly too, and the shaking in my hands is more pronounced. I got home after a brilliant day with my family and friends, and decided to lie on the sofa rather than join Denise and Maureen at bingo. I reckoned it was beyond me to hold the dibber still.”

Linda added: “I know I worried myself sick about this kind of thing before my last lot of scans, and everything was OK.

“I wonder if I’m simply worn out? Since my birthday celebrations in February we’ve had a stream of knees-ups. Never mind tumours, it sometimes feels like I have worms wriggling in [my head]. I’m constantly so keen to squeeze the most out of life; to make memories, to enjoy every second, and to ensure everyone enjoys their time with me.”

Back in February, Linda said she was having “wobbly” mobility during an interview with Hello! magazine.

She explained: “I’ve noticed my mobility is wobbly and my speech is starting to sound like I’m drunk. But I’m in a boxing match against cancer. My oncologist always says: ‘We’re in a marathon, not a sprint.'”
