'Emotional' Linda Nolan 'astonished' after results of health treatment for chronic illness

Linda Nolan has said that she was left "astonished" following the results of a new treatment for lymphedema, a condition she is currently battling.

The long-term (chronic) condition causes swelling in the body's tissues. It can affect any part of the body, but usually develops in the arms or legs.

The 63-year-old singer and TV star says she has been "plagued" by lymphedema after undergoing a hysterotomy for breast cancer in 2006, writes The Mirror.

Taking to Twitter, Linda tweeted: "Had another great day today, trying out a brand new lymphedema treatment.

"I’m astonished by the results and a little bit emotional. Can’t wait to show you the full before and afters in a few weeks time."

Linda has since been flooded with messages of support, including from Pat Sharp, who replied with praying hand emojis.

Someone else wrote: "That is fantastic linda all the best to you xxc" A third tweeted: "So good to hear that I was very fortunate to not suffer continuous swelling x"

While a fourth penned: "Sending you lots of positive thoughts. So pleased things are going well for you."

Linda's sister Bernie died in 2013 from breast cancer, aged just 52, while her other sibling Anne, 72, has since received the all-clear.
