LINDA Nolan's brother has been seen for first time since revealing secret cancer diagnosis.

Brian first noticed something was wrong after needing to use the toilet more frequently than usual.

After a trip to the GP where doctors carried out PSA tests, an MRI, and a biopsy, it was revealed he had the disease.

Losing Linda was tough for Brian and he said the pain left him struggling to sleep.

Three days after his sisters funeral, Brian was diagnosed with cancer.

He had just planned Linda's memorial after her 20-year battle with cancer before receiving the news.

Brian told the Mirror: “I just want cancer to leave us alone.”;

He added: “You’re never ready for somebody to say: ‘Yes, you’ve got cancer’.

“It’s like being hit by a train. You start plunging into the abyss of: ‘I’m going to die’.”

Brian is the fifth of eight Nolan siblings.

Sadly, the Nolan family lost Bernie to breast cancer in 2013 aged 52, before Linda, 65, earlier this year.

Anne, 74, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 and Coleen, 60, learned she had skin cancer in 2023.

Now Brian must undergo treatment to tackle his level two prostate cancer – which thankfully has not spread to the rest of his body.

The urologist assured him that they were going to cure his cancer and he said he hopes he can have the courage his sisters had.

He will soon undergo surgery to remove his prostate gland during his battle with the disease.
