In 2021 Linda Nolan and her sister Anne sat down with RSVP Magazine for an open and honest interview about each of their heartbreaking cancer diagnoses, and why it brought the sisters even closer together
We were saddened to hear the news of yet another life lost to the cruel disease of cancer, this time the brave Linda Nolan who fought a heroic battle against breast cancer for a harrowing 20 years.
Anne: I had chemotherapy, radiotherapy and an operation but they are all finished with and I am currently taking an immunology drug called Herceptin once every three weeks. And then I am taking another drug once every six months for three years to try and prevent the cancer from coming back in my bones. But apart from that, I am finished with treatment. They couldn’t find any traces of cancer in my last scan.
I am living day to day and I am very grateful when I open my eyes and I am here to live another day. I want to spend as much time as possible with my family and enjoy every moment.A: I never thought that at all. Our late sister Bernie said “Why not me?” because lots of people have cancer and it comes back for them.
L: Our sister Denise has an app so we don’t have to phone everyone individually to give them updates on how we are, she does that for us. As well as informing our family about the worrying updates, I do think that it is important to let everyone know when the news is good too. Good news is really important.
You bravely took part in a joint photoshoot last year after losing your hair to cancer treatment. That must have been inspiring to so many women because your hair is a symbol of beauty and femininity. A: Absolutely! The best thing for anybody dealing with cancer is to talk about it but that can be hard for some people. For others, it is a great help to get it out there and you realise that having no hair or having a mastectomy are not something to be ashamed of.
