Anne Nolan has said her cancer is "more or less gone" after undergoing chemotherapy.

The Nolan Sister revealed earlier this year that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, a disease she had already battled 20 years ago.

Anne, 70, shared the good news on Monday's Morning Live programme as she appeared on the programme via video link along with sisters Coleen, 55, Linda, 61, Maureen, 66, and Denise, 68, to talk about their new album.

"My cancer has disappeared basically," Anne divulged. "I’m still having treatment to go forward but it’s more or less gone, yeah. It’s amazing."

She went on to tell hosts Gethin Jones and Kym Marsh: "I remember being in hospital having my chemo and there was a lady sitting opposite me and she was at the end of her chemotherapy.

"She said to me, “I just want you to know there is light at the end of the tunnel”, and at the time I thought I can’t really see that at the moment, but there is, and I’m proof there is. It’s fantastic."

In a double blow for the family, Linda was diagnosed with liver cancer earlier in 2020, having already been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, cellulitis and lymphedema in her arm in 2007 and secondary cancer on her pelvis in 2017.

She told the presenters that she was yet to get her latest results back, but that she was remaining positive.

"I'm doing well, Anne got her results they were great, I'm waiting for scan results this week coming and hopefully they'll be good and they will tell me what the next step is because my cancer is treatable but it's not curable so I will be on medication possibly for the rest of my life.

"But as long at that works, that's fine," she said.

The news comes as their sister Bernie Nolan passed away from breast cancer in 2013 at the age of 52.

  • American Air Surges After Reddit Chatter on Attacking Shorts

    (Bloomberg) -- American Airlines Group Inc. surged in early trading Thursday, extending a day-earlier gain as the carrier was swept up in a rally among heavily shorted stocks being targeted in Reddit’s Wall Street Bets forum.The shares soared as much as 87% ahead of regular trading. The spectacular advance came as American reported fourth-quarter earnings and ventured a cautious outlook on when a recovery would materialize after an unprecedented drop in air travel last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.“As we look to the year ahead, 2021 will be a year of recovery,” Chief Executive Officer Doug Parker said in an earnings statement. “While we don’t know exactly when passenger demand will return, as vaccine distribution takes hold and travel restrictions are lifted, we will be ready.”The surge underscored the disconnect between retail traders’ attacks on shorted stocks and the reality of an industry where demand cratered because of the pandemic. Like its U.S. peers, American is still reeling from losses, and its narrower-than-expected deficit in the fourth quarter suggested nothing to justify a burst of market enthusiasm. American is the most shorted stock among major U.S. airlines.“AAL the next GME?” said Reddit user u/cardiffgiantthe1st in an online discussion Wednesday, referring to the stock tickers of American and GameStop Corp., the video-game retailer that has been at the center of intense trading stoked by online discussions.American had a market value of $10 billion at the close on Wednesday.(Updates shares in second paragraph)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.
