Linda, 65, was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. She has been battling secondary breast cancer since 2017 and in 2020 it was revealed that a third recurrence of cancer in her liver had occurred.

She also announced last year that a tumour had been found on the left side of her brain. She has since started immunotherapy treatment.

Speaking in her column, she recalled the moment her sister Bernie lost control of her legs. She has now realised that she is now also becoming 'unsteady on her feet.'

"This week the same happened to me. We'd been out for lunch but when it came to getting out of my brother Brian's car, I simply couldn't," she wrote.

"It's the hardest thing to explain. You feel completely helpless - nothing is within your control. You go to put weight on your legs and there's nothing there, so you fall back."

She also recounted that she has now fallen three times and she has experienced 'a few bed days.'

However, she signed off her column with some good news. Linda penned: "And I saw my oncologist. No cookies there, but good news. My first scan since the new treatment shows the tumours are stable. As I left, he said: "Now Linda, don't fall." Cheek."

Linda isn't the only Nolan sister to have been affected by cancer. Bernie Nolan tragically died in 2013 at the age of 52 from breast cancer, whilst other sister Anne has been given the all-clear after being diagnosed three years ago.
