Yet the singer told the Mirror that she’s tried to see the funny side of things, revealing it’s “scary” and that she still has ‘down days’.
She explained: “I’m there, bald as anything, no teeth and these poor little girls ran away screaming.
“I couldn’t stop laughing. I love Halloween and they actually thought I was a witch. A real one!”
The star also opened up about how she worried that her 60th birthday could be her last, but she’s ‘still here’ and going strong five years later.
She added: “It’s easy to sit back and get depressed about it, but I’m still going.
“My hope for this year? To not die, obviously. I just want to be here with my family.
“I want us all to be here this time next year, that’s the goal.”
The former Nolans singer and newspaper columnist has also spoken candidly about living with cancer.
The sister of Loose Women star Coleen Nolan 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.
Despite the difficulties, Linda has remained as positive as she can as she revealed she’s been able to enjoy some festive activities including seeing 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.”
Earlier this year Linda revealed she was starting a new treatment that is hoped can slow the spread of her cancer.
Her treatment includes using Enhertu, a life-extending drug denied to thousands of women on the NHS because it’s deemed too costly.
