Linda and Anne Nolan have announced that they have both been diagnosed with cancer.
Anne Nolan revealed the devastating news to her sisters following the filming of their TV series The Nolan’s Go Cruising earlier this year.
Linda Nolan said of Anne’s news: “On May 7, our sister Maureen called me at 10am to say that Anne’s breast cancer had been confirmed. Then half an hour later my oncologist’s secretary phoned me to say, ‘We need you to have an MRI scan because we’ve seen something on your liver’.
Anne Nolan, 69, is hoping to beat the cancer once again with the help of chemo.
“The cancer hasn’t metastasised, it’s just contained in the breast. That was an amazing thing to hear really.
“I keep telling myself the chemo is horrible, but hopefully it’s doing its job. And it’s not a case of being brave. I’m not brave. I haven’t been brave at all – I’ve been crying and probably stressing my sisters and my daughters.
“So, I’m not brave. I just haven’t got any choice. Either I do it, take chemo, or face the consequences,” explained Anne.
