Linda Nolan has shared an update on her cancer treatment after revealing the news that the disease had spread to her brain earlier this week.
Linda was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 but was given the all-clear a year later. However, in 2017, she was once again diagnosed with cancer, this time in her hip. The secondary cancer spread to her liver in 2020.
When Linda revealed the news that the cancer has spread to her brain on Good Morning Britain this week, she shared that she was “not giving up”. And her army of devoted fans have made it clear that they’ll be behind her every step of the way as she undergoes a fresh round of treatment.

A family source alleged to The Mirror that Linda is “defiant” as she begins radiotherapy for brain cancer.
The source shared: “She’s never afraid to tackle things head on and this was no different. Even walking into the hospital with her walking stick, rather than being in her wheelchair, was an act of defiance against her cancer. She’s taking control and she means business.”
