Blackpool's Nolan sisters Anne and Maureen vow to beat their cancer after revealing they were diagnosed days apart after filming TV series 'Nolans Go Cruising.'

Anne, 69 and Linda, 61, revealed they both started treatment at the Vic on June 5, after receiving their diagnoses of cancer within days of each other.

The pop sisters, whose show ‘Nolans Go Cruising’ is currently airing every Tuesday on digital channel Quest Red, said their shock news was delivered by doctors shortly after they had wrapped up filming on the eight part series.

Grandmother-of-three Anne has been diagnosed with breast cancer, exactly 20 years on from her first battle with the disease.

Linda, was first diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in 2006. She went into remission only for the cancer to return in her pelvis in 2017 and told it was incurable.

She has now been diagnosed with liver cancer after a recent scan showed signs of disease, and has moved in with sister Denise, who also lives in the Fylde for support while undergoing treatment.

The sisters will both have six rounds of the treatment in total.

Determined in her latest fight with the disease Linda said: “There's life in this girl yet. As long as the treatment is there and I can have it and I respond well to it I might be around for another 15, 20 years, hopefully.

“By that time I’ll be an old woman. I’ll be 75 in 15 years, and I would’ve had a great life.

“So that’s why I’m again, for the third time, going to give it everything I’ve got.”

Anne, the eldest of the Nolan sisters said in an interview with a Sunday paper : “I don’t want to die.

“I love my life so much.

“I love my daughters, my grandchildren, my friends, all my family.

“I want to live for as long as I possibly can.”

In April, youngest sibling and Loose Women host Coleen told how Linda’s cancer treatment had been delayed amid the coronavirus crisis.

Coleen, 55, who now lives in Cheshire, said the once in a lifetime cruise trip, which also included sister and fellow band member Maureen, had been a chance for the family to ‘reconnect.’

She has publicly shared her support in a tweet, posting: “They’ve beaten it before - they can beat it again. Please keep them in your thoughts and well wishes.”

The family lost younger sister Bernie to breast cancer in 2013. She was 52.
