Singer, 64, lost her husband Brian and younger sister Bernie to cancer
Linda Nolan has revealed she has started planning her own funeral - and wants a glittery pink coffin like her aunty had.
The development is all the more devastating because younger sister Bernie had cancer in her brain when she died 10 years ago this July, aged 52. Back in 2005, Linda had a mastectomy and 18 rounds of chemo due to breast cancer. She has just finished 11 radiotherapy sessions, is taking on steroids and awaiting the results of a second MRI scan to see if the brain tumours have shrunk. Then she will start taking the new chemotherapy drug Tucatinib, to “give me more time”,Linda now walks with a slivery walking stick and a walking frame - and often needs a wheelchair outside. She has moved in with sister Denise close by in Blackpool, and her other sister Maureen visits daily.
