Linda Nolan is hoping to enjoy many more Christmases as she vows to face her cancer battle head-on.

The Nolans star was recently diagnosed with incurable liver cancer – the third time the illness has returned following her initial breast cancer diagnosis in 2006 and secondary cancer on her pelvis in 2017.

After an initial bout of chemotherapy treatment, however, the singer has been informed that more tumours have been found on her liver, but she’s determined to make the most of the time she has left.

While she hasn’t asked the doctors for a prognosis, the I’m In The Mood For Dancing singer hopes “to be around for a few more Christmases”. 

“I don’t want to know if I’ve got 18 months, two years or whatever,” Linda told the Daily Mirror. “It’s bad enough thinking about it all in my head. But all I want for Christmas is to be around for a few more Christmases.

“That would be the best present of all, to be here for as long as I can. The consultant was very upbeat and said there was no way we were talking about the last year of my life.

“I’m lucky it’s treatable but I do approach it by thinking, ‘This could be my last Christmas’.”

The tragic news comes after Linda’s sister Anne Nolan was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in April. However, in December she shared happier news by revealing her cancer had “disappeared” following treatment.

The family tragically lost sibling Bernie to cancer in July 2013 aged 54.
