- --you want to share with everybody watching. Over to you.

LINDA NOLAN: Well, as you said in the VT there that I've always been open about my treatments and what's happening in my life. And we recently papped, and people have been getting in touch, what's wrong? Trying to-- And I just want to tell you from me that, unfortunately, sadly for me, my cancer has now spread to my brain, which I only found out on Monday. And that's, obviously, very frightening because there isn't much help for brain cancer at the moment, apart from radiotherapy, which I'm going to be having.

But there is a new drug that's been in use for a year for brain cancer, and they're going to try me on that as a chemo drug with some other treatment. I've always been honest. And I just wanted people to know, that's the situation. I'm not giving up. I'm positive. I'm going to lose my hair again, for the fourth time. So my sister said, at least you've got some nice wigs now.
