"I'll do anything to stay alive," says Linda Nolan, who has been diagnosed with incurable cancer and is undergoing therapy.
In a new interview, the 63-year-old TV icon and singer revealed that she was heartbroken when she learned that her chemotherapy treatment for cancer had failed. Her cancer is incurable, therefore the singer has decided to "make the most of the time she has left" during her weekly chemo sessions, even though she has been told the bad news.
After receiving her diagnosis, Linda boldly spoke about how she felt like a "complete mess."
"I started the chemo again in September but the doctor said it hadn't done what they hoped it would do," she told The Sun. "The tumours on my liver were enlarged and were growing, so they had to put me back on chemo again," she added.
She's having a very difficult time, with only the determination to stay alive the thing keeping her committed to fight this.
"We agreed on a 12-week course, once a week every Friday," she added.
In 2005, the actress was told she had stage three breast cancer for the first time.
However, she was given the all-clear the next year.
Linda was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer eleven years later.

It wasn't discovered until it had progressed to her hip after a fall that it had been diagnosed.
Sadly, doctors told the celebrity that she had little hope of a recovery from her cancer.
Her liver was also found to be infected in May 2020.
Linda's sister Bernie Nolan, who was 52 at the time of her death from secondary breast cancer in 2013, is another victim of the disease.
Worse, Linda and her sister Anne Nolan were both re-diagnosed with cancer on the same day.
Linda's cancer had gone to her liver just 30 minutes after she learned that her sister, Anne Nolan, had discovered a tumor in her breast, in their book "Stronger Together."
A year after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000, Anne was declared cancer free.
When she was diagnosed with cancer and getting treated for it, Linda had to deal with the fact that she had lost all of her eyelashes, eyebrows, hair, and nails due to chemotherapy.
She described the therapy as "traumatizing" when she appeared on BBC Breakfast.
She said her chemotherapy has left her with certain negative effects. She got "pins and needles: on her fingers and toes, which can be quite uncomfortable.
