She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005.
She told The Mirror: “I sobbed when my consultant first told me. I know so many people are suffering and going through things, but I thought, just for once, could cancer just leave me alone? My heart sank.”
The star continued: “I had feared something was wrong.
“My balance has been getting worse and my memory – my sisters have to prompt me when I get lost in the middle of a sentence.
“Maureen came with me to the appointment and my Macmillan Cancer support nurse was in the room, and I could just tell.
“I asked my consultant straight away: ‘Has it spread?’
“When he told me, I immediately asked: ‘What do we do now?’”
It has been a series of tough moments for Linda, who was given a devastating update on her illness as she revealed her cancer had spread to her brain last year.
Since those were discovered she has been undergoing immunotherapy every three weeks.
She is due to start a new treatment tomorrow that has offered her some hope to slow down the cruel disease.
It will include Enhertu, a life-extending drug that was denied to thousands of women on the NHS because it was deemed to costly.

Last year Linda said she vowed not to ‘live in fear’ but didn’t know if she would see another Christmas.
Her sister Bernie died from breast cancer aged 52 in 2013 after it had spread to her brain, lungs, liver and bones.
Linda’s husband Brian also died from skin cancer in 2007.
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.
Doctors confirmed they could see no cure – and in May 2020 that it had also spread to her liver.
Previously she has heartbreakingly admitted she does not know how much time she has left.
