Coleen Nolan is undergoing further treatment following a skin cancer diagnosis last year and a fresh alarming warning from doctors.
In 2023, the Loose Women star received treatment for carcinoma, a low-grade skin cancer diagnosed on her shoulder.
Coleen has subsequently discovered a second worrisome patch of skin, which she has been informed will develop into melanoma, the worst type of skin cancer, if left untreated.
Coleen, 58, is now on a solo tour of the United Kingdom and will seek therapy again once the gigs are over.
Speaking on the Learning As I Go: Learning To Feel The Fear podcast, she began: ‘I got skin cancer last year.
‘I had carcinoma on my shoulder which has now gone. And had chemo cream on my shoulder so that burned that off.’
Coleen continued: ‘And then I’ve got this tiny bit of dry skin.
‘I’ve been saying for ages, it doesn’t matter how much oil or cream I put on it, it won’t go.
‘But doctors said, “That is pre melanoma, it will turn into skin cancer which is worse than carcinoma.”
‘So I’m getting that treated when the tour ends.’
Cancer has ripped through the Nolan family throughout the years.
Anne was the first Nolan sister to have the condition.
Bernie passed away from breast cancer in 2013, which was devastating.
Linda Nolan, 64, has incurable cancer.
She was originally diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and received the all-clear in 2006.
Unfortunately, in 2017, she was diagnosed with an inoperable secondary cancer in her hip, which spread to her liver three years later.
Linda learned last year that it had gone to her brain.
Coleen recently expressed her concerns about being the ‘next’ cancer patient, citing her family’s history of illness.
Coleen admits to being’scared’ in an interview with Kaye Adams for the How To Be 60 podcast.
‘I constantly check myself and if there’s anything I’m scared about I go back and see [her doctor],’ she shared.
‘So, I’m quite vigilant with myself. It’s just a big decision and if I found out I had the [cancer gene] would I have an elected double mastectomy? I always said I absolutely would.’
However, Linda told her not to have the op.
‘She was like, “I just wouldn’t want you to, I want you to be vigilant”.’
