Linda Nolan rings a hospital “chemotherapy bell” and gives a joyous thumbs-up to celebrate the end of her chemotherapy treatment.
The singer, whose sister Anne completed her own chemo course last month, told hospital staff they had been “amazing”.
And she posted a message on social media, which read: “I RANG THE BELL TODAY!”
Linda added: “It was an amazing feeling and I felt so, emotional, especially when all the nurses came out and cheered. It’s been such a lovely day.”
Anne, 69, and Linda, 61, who were in the family’s popular girl band in the 70s and 80s, received their diagnoses within days of each other in March.
Anne, who is battling breast cancer for a second time, is now awaiting mammogram results and may still need surgery.
Linda, who is next due to have an MRI scan, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. And she has been told the secondary cancer she now has is incurable after it spread from her pelvis to her liver.
But medics at Blackpool’s Victoria Hospital now hope the disease can be contained.
Linda revealed she found losing her hair difficult. “Going bald was traumatic and I cried a lot,” she told Hello! magazine.
She previously told the Mirror she tried to carry on laughing during her battle.
She said:” Humour has to get you through it, otherwise you’d curl up under the duvet and never come out – but that means cancer has won.”
Anne, who was hospitalised for 11 days due to chemo side effects, said she could not have “got through it” without Linda. “She refused to leave my side,” Anne said.
“I reacted so badly to chemo and my anxiety levels were sky high.”
