Noddy Holder, who was given a few months to live due to cancer, says it is now "on a level playing field."

There's always something interesting to look forward to, whether it's the upcoming page or the previous one. Today, we have an update from the legendary Noddy Holder, the frontman of Slade. At 78 years old, he's still rocking and rolling, living life day by day. It's hard to believe that six years ago, he received the devastating news that he only had six months left to live due to oesophageal cancer. But here he is, still standing and giving us an insight into his journey.

Noddy was first diagnosed in 2018 and the news was made public last year. After undergoing an experimental chemotherapy treatment, he responded well to the treatment and has been able to manage his condition. In an interview on BBC Breakfast, Noddy was asked about his health by hosts Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. He assured them that he's doing alright and is on a level playing field.

But it wasn't an easy journey for Noddy. He revealed that five years ago, he was given the shocking news that he only had six months left to live. However, he was lucky enough to be offered a targeted chemo treatment which hadn't been tried on anyone over 60 at the time. But Noddy, being 72 years old at the time, took the chance and it paid off. He's still here, five years later, although he admits that they never say you're cured and he still has to have regular check-ups.

In another interview with the BBC, Noddy admitted that he was more worried about his family than himself when he received the diagnosis. But he decided to face it head on, living life day by day and making the most of every moment. His wife, Suzan, also shared their experience in her monthly column for Cheshire Life magazine. She wrote about how they coped with the news and how they stuck together as a family. She also added that although experts never use the word "cure", Noddy is feeling good and looking great.

Noddy also opened up to The Big Issue about why he chose to keep his condition private, only sharing it with family and close friends. He didn't want to be seen as a "cancer victim" and wanted to continue living his life as he always had. He also revealed the physical toll it took on him, losing all his hair and dropping down to eight stone.

It's amazing to see Noddy Holder still going strong after all these years. He's an inspiration to us all, showing us that no matter what life throws at us, we can still keep pushing forward. BBC Breakfast airs weekdays at 6am on BBC One. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, don't hesitate to reach out to The Agency entertainment team. They would love to hear from you.
