Singer Linda Nolan, battling incurable secondary breast cancer, shares her Christmas fears and hopes. Despite recent falls and the disease's impact on her health, she remains optimistic, finding humor and strength in spending time with loved ones.
The food is ready, and the gifts are all wrapped up. However, this Christmas carries a tinge of sadness for Linda Nolan , who confesses her fear that it might be her last as she battles incurable cancer.
“I try to stay positive,” Linda, from Blackpool, insists. “I’ll use jokes and humour as a way to cope, but of course it’s scary. And I have my days where I’m terribly down.” For Linda, the holiday season has always been a time of magic and joy, so it’s little wonder she’s looking forward to the big day. “I’ve always loved Christmas, my mum and dad would always make it so special for us,” she explains.
Now, with the help of Denise and their surviving sisters Maureen, Anne and Coleen, as well as brothers Tommy and Brian, Linda has managed to find positives in her situation – though she acknowledges not everyone is able to stay as upbeat as she does about her diagnosis. “I don’t want to think about my affairs. It’s so final. Every birthday and every Christmas, I want to make it to the next one. This year, for instance, I will certainly raise a glass and say, ‘Here’s to 2025.’ I have to be like that, I can’t be a grey cloud of doom. There are days where I do need to stay in bed, I just can’t ‘do’ the day, but on the whole, I try to stay as strong as possible.”
