She hasn’t let her health problems take away from a brilliant birthday party while enjoying some quality time with her family.

Writing to her 253,000 followers on Instagram, Linda wrote: ‘Will they still need me, will they still feed me when I’m 64? Well, he had a cake for me and another for me!

‘Thank you all so much for the love and wishes… Currently breastfeeding the mother of all hangovers but feel so blessed to have seen another birthday ❤️’.

She shared a snap of herself looking healthy and happy posing with a perfectly decorated pink birthday cake and wearing a matching fuchsia top.

In another clip posted on the social media platform, she was filmed blowing out candles while surrounded by family members at a restaurant.

It comes after Linda shared a new health update while trying a new treatment for her cancer diagnosis.

Linda, the television personality, later suffered a fall on her hip, when doctors discovered a form of incurable secondary breast cancer in her pelvis.

In 2020, she was diagnosed with the terrible disease for a third time, and has since received ongoing treatment that has caused her to lose her hair and eyebrows, and even caused her toenails to turn ‘chalk’.

Since then, the star has been open with her fans about her journey to “do anything to stay alive.”

Writing to her followers on Tuesday, Linda posted on Twitter: ‘Had another great day today, trying a new treatment for lymphedema.

‘I’m amazed by the results and a bit excited. I can’t wait to show you the full before and after in a few weeks ❤️❤️❤️’

In 2021, Linda started treatment again, but was devastated to learn that it had not had the effect she had hoped for.

she explained to Sun: ‘I started chemotherapy again in September, but the doctor said it hadn’t done what they expected. The tumors on my liver were enlarged and growing so they had to put me back on chemotherapy.

It was a shock. But I’ll do whatever it takes to stay alive. We agreed on a 12-week course, once a week every Friday.’

She said she spent two days in bed crying after being given the difficult news, wondering if she would be with her family much longer.

‘I was thinking, ‘Am I going to see my great nieces and nephews? Will I watch them grow up and get married?’ But then I thought, “I don’t want to let cancer win.”

Linda rose to fame with her family pop group The Nolans in the ’70s, performing alongside her sisters Anne, 71, Denise, 69, Maureen, 67, and Coleen, 57.

His last sister, Bernie, was also a member, but she died of breast cancer in 2013 at age 52.

Anne was previously diagnosed with breast cancer, but is now in remission.

He went on to explain that he doesn’t say certain things about his illness to his family because he doesn’t want to upset them, but he finds comfort in humor, though he admits it’s a bit dark at times.

Linda runs a WhatsApp group so she can update her family on any progress or test results, and often jokes on the messaging service that she hopes the next family event they attend isn’t her funeral.

She says she has asked her doctors not to tell her how much time they think she has left because she just wants to ‘make memories’ and asked for a break from treatment, rescheduling her December chemotherapy so she could enjoy Christmas.

The star concluded: ‘Three of my nephews are getting married and Denise is turning 70. My godson Danny, who is Maureen’s son, is getting married in Italy and that’s my goal: to make sure I’m there in August.

I will be there for all those things. They are milestones. I am decided.’
