Cancer-free Bernie Nolan shows off new luscious locks
Nearly one year on from learning that she had breast cancer, singer and actress Bernie Nolan is now well on the way to recovery. She recently showed off a new head of healthy-looking hair, after losing it all during chemotherapy treatment.
Nolan, who is best known as the lead vocalist of The Nolans and also for her role as Diane Murray in Brookside, was diagnosed with cancer in April 2010. The 51-year-old underwent a gruelling course of chemotherapy and had a mastectomy, finally declaring in October 2010 that she was cancer-free.
After losing patches of hair during chemotherapy, Nolan made the brave decision to shave her head. Speaking of this moment, she said:
“I thought, “Get rid of it – I’m in charge of this disease, it’s not in charge of me.”‘
The Popstar to Operastar runner-up was spotted just a few months ago with the first signs of hair regrowth on her scalp, and now has grown a thick crop of healthy blonde hair. She looks healthier than ever, and has gone back to work promoting her new book ‘Survivors: Our Story – From Us to You With Love’ alongside her supportive sisters.
