Linda Nolan has updated her health status, saying that the disease has progressed to her brain.
The singer, 64, who rose to prominence in the 1970s with her sisters in the girl group The Nolans, appeared on Monday’s Good Morning Britain to discuss her current therapy.
‘Unfortunately, regrettably for me, my cancer has now progressed to my brain, which I only found out on Monday,’ she told co-hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid.
Linda described her diagnosis as “very frightening,” and she admitted that “there isn’t much help for brain cancer” other than radiation, which she will undertake.
She also mentioned a new medicine that has been in use for a year that she plans to use as a chemo treatment.
Linda outlined that she’s always been open about her treatment, stating: ‘I just want people to know that’s the situation.’
‘I’m positive, I’m not giving up,’ she affirmed, adding that she’s going to end up losing her hair for a fourth time.

‘As usual, my amazing family – I’m back living with my sister Denise and her partner Tom and Maureen has been looking after me for the last two weeks, just with balance issues, getting everything,’ she continued.
Linda went on to say that she is using a wheelchair while preparing for “the inevitable.”
‘It’s a scary trip to be on, this one,’ she remarked.
Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time in 2006, before being diagnosed with incurable secondary breast cancer that had progressed to her hip in 2017.
Three years later, she announced that the disease had progressed to her liver, with the discovery of more tumours.
A source recently told The Mirror about the falls Linda had experienced as of late, saying that her family ‘are extremely worried now and are rallying round to support and care for her’.
‘Linda doesn’t feel safe in her home alone now,’ they said, adding: ‘‘Everyone’s hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.’
Linda’s sister Bernie Nolan died from cancer in 2013 at the age of 52.
Linda and her sister Anne Nolan revealed in 2020 that they had both been diagnosed with cancer and were having treatment at Blackpool’s Victoria Hospital.
The brothers’ diagnosis came days apart, and The Nolans said in a statement, ‘We will get through this together, as a family.’
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.
