Linda Nolan discusses what she does after receiving scan results
Linda Nolan appeared on Thursday’s Good Morning Britain to give a devastating health update.
The singer, 65, revealed earlier this week that cancerous tumours in her brain have now grown after ongoing treatment stopped working. Linda was told by her consultant last week that her most recent scans show a growth of the two largest tumours at the front and left side of her brain, as well as a slight increase of smaller cancerous spots surrounding them.
It comes after Linda made the devastating discovery last spring that her secondary breast cancer had spread to her brain, and has since been undergoing regular treatment which first shrunk the tumours, and then stabilised them. Although the growths have not returned to the size they were when they were first discovered, this latest progression indicates her current treatment is no longer effective.
Talking about her diagnosis on Thursday’s Good Morning Britain, Linda revealed a ritual she has with her family on result days. The singer said: “One of my sisters gets the short straw, comes with me on those results days. Then we all meet in the cafe for lunch or whatever if the news is good and if it’s bad we just go home, have a cup of tea.”

I know so many people are suffering and going through things, but I thought, just for once, could cancer just leave me alone? My heart sank.” She admitted: “I had feared something was wrong. My balance has been getting worse and my memory – my sisters have to prompt me when I get lost in the middle of a sentence.
“Maureen came with me to the appointment and my Macmillan Cancer support nurse was in the room, and I could just tell. I asked my consultant straight away: ‘Has it spread?’ When he told me, I immediately asked: ‘What do we do now?’” Linda was first diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2005, but despite receiving the all-clear a secondary form of the disease was found in her hip in 2017, and later in her liver.
Since the discovery of tumours in her brain last March she has been undergoing immunotherapy every three weeks, but thankfully there is now another type of chemotherapy the singer can try in the hope it could control her cancer’s progression.
