Linda Nolan has penned a message of support to Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding after the singer announced she was battling “advanced” breast cancer.

The Nolans star, who is battling liver cancer alongside secondary breast cancer, looked back on her cancer journey so far in a column for new! magazine.

“Sarah, I was so shocked and devastated to hear about your breast cancer diagnosis,” she penned.

“If I can say anything to you, the support you’ll get from the public will be amazing – it was overwhelming for my sister Anne [who is also suffering from breast cancer] and me.

“People are genuinely lovely and want to wish you the best. Initially, I didn’t want people to pity me, but it was weight off my shoulders when it came out and I hope you’re feeling a sense of relief too.”

She continued: “This is my third time of being diagnosed with cancer now and each time is just as scary.

“But once you get your head around it – and you’ve got a supportive family, which I know you have – before you know it you’ll be at the end of your chemo treatments.”

Linda added: “I started my chemo in June and thought ‘I’m never going to get to September,’ and now I’ve got two treatments left. And you get into a routine with it.

“Although you’re feeling rubbish, remember it’s treatment to make you better. As you’ve said, the doctors are amazing and give you so much support, but don’t be frightened to ask questions.”

Sarah, 38, shared a snap of herself in a hospital bed on her Instagram page last month, revealing she was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year.

“A couple of weeks ago I received the devastating news that the cancer has advanced to other parts of my body,” she explained. “I’m currently undergoing weekly chemotherapy sessions and I am fighting as hard as I possibly can.”

According to reports, she had been in talks with her Girls Aloud bandmates about a 20th anniversary reunion in 2022 before the devastating diagnosis.
