Coleen Nolan opens up about her own fears and why her sister Linda ts her inspiration
'I don't want to LIVE WITH REGRETS

October marks Breast Cancer Awareness month and someone who knows more than most about the devastation it can cause is Coleen Nolan.

Her eldest sister Anne was first diagnosed with the disease back in 2000, while Linda was diagnosed in 2005. Their sister Bernie was then diagnosed in 2010 and sadly died just three years later.

Now, Coleen, 58, has opened up about her own anxiety over developing breast cancer, admitting it often affects her daily life. ‘Obviously I do worry about it because it’s very much in my family, so it does make me think about it more than I ever did before any of them got breast cancer,’ she said. ‘Before then I thought that something like this would never happen to me. I try not to think about it every day because, genuinely, it would stop me from living.’

Family trauma

In 2020, Anne was diagnosed with breast cancer for a second time, but was later given the all-clear. However, Linda, who underwent a mastectomy in 2006, is currently living with incurable secondary cancer which started in her hip, but has since spread to her liver and brain.
