Coleen Nolan 'proud' of sister Bernie

Coleen Nolan says that she is "proud" of the way her sister Bernie has approached her cancer treatment.

The Loose Women panellist said that Bernie's positive attitude since her breast cancer diagnosis in April has helped her to overcome the negative side effects of her treatment.

Coleen said: "[Bernie] never ceases to amaze...It really proves that your mental attitude to things is so important. The mind is so strong.

"She's had a hard time, a lot of nasty side effects with the chemo, but she comes through them and goes, 'I don't care about the side effects because it means they're working and I'm getting better.'"

Coleen confirmed that the 49-year-old actress would undergo an operation next month before adding, "They've caught it, it's gone. I'm so proud of her."
