Linda was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in 2005 and given the all-clear the next year.

But in March 2017, she was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer which was identified after it spread to her hip, following a fall.

Heartbreakingly, the 65-year-old last year revealed her cancer had spread to her brain.

But in a fresh update, Linda is staying positive and told how she managed to see her older sister Maureen in panto, who is starring in Snow White.

Writing in her Daily Express column, she said: “I can barely believe I’ve made it – but here I am, and I’m so grateful.

“Thank you so much for reading my highs and lows this year.

“I’ll make a Christmas wish for many more.”

The I’m In the Mood for Dancing singer also told fans she is wheelchair-bound as she paid tribute to her close friend.

Linda said: “I’ve been shopping with my friend Sue.

“She’s been great at taking me out in my wheelchair, although she no doubt needed a mulled wine after the last trip when she turned me round in one narrow aisle and we took out half of womenswear.”

Earlier this year Linda revealed she was starting a new treatment that is hoped can slow the spread of her cancer.

Her treatment will includes using Enhertu, a life-extending drug denied to thousands of women on the NHS because it’s deemed too costly.
