Anne Nolan says she’s ‘on top of the world’ as she reveals her cancer has disappeared after six months

ANNE Nolan feels "fantastic" now that her cancer has disappeared for a good six months.

Anne, 69, was diagnosed with breast cancer within days of her younger sister Linda earlier this year.

But now she's revealed that the cancer has "disappeared, basically."

"I'm still having treatment to go forward but it's more or less gone, yeah. It's amazing," Anne told BBC's Morning Live today.

Anne opened up about an emotional moment during her treatment where a fellow patient told her that good things would come to her.

"I remember being in hospital and having my chemo," she said, "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 really can't see that at the moment, but there is, and I'm proof there is.

"It's fantastic."

Anne revealed "I feel absolutely elated" after telling her family the good news.

"I feel like it's kind of surreal, it's not sunk in yet," she explained.

"It's a bit weird. Top of the Tower, top of the world!"

The good news comes after Anne and Linda last gave an update on their progress on Lorraine.

The pair spoke out about their shock diagnosis in The Sun back in August and revealed they were undergoing chemotherapy during the coronavirus pandemic.

Their sister Bernie tragically died from breast cancer in 2013, appeared on ITV's Lorraine in October and urged fellow sufferers to push for treatment as they revealed their own progress.

Anne said: "The treatment that you're having it's harsh and it's making you feel ill, but it's also making you better and that is the way to think about it. Whatever you are going through is to cure the cancer.

"That's what's happening with me, they're trying to cure my cancer. My prognosis is very good at the moment. I had an operation about two weeks ago and the results were fabulous.

"They found no cancer in the tissue and in my lymph nodes and that was amazing, the results were fantastic that was because of the chemo."

Linda, 61, said she was waiting for her test results as she urged viewers to get checked and go for treatment.

She said: "I'm doing well. I'm doing great actually. I've had my chemo and I'm just waiting for the results of the scans I've had to see if it's worked."

Coleen Nolan's sister also wanted to explain why it has been important for their family to share their experiences with cancer.

She added: "People say to me 'don't you want to stay quiet about it?' but our way of giving back to people is this.

"We really do have a very strong and supportive family, so if anyone is out there with no one to turn to maybe if we say something on TV or a magazine, and they can think 'oh that's normal' then that helps.

"Cancer is a very lonely place."
