Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has shared the devastating update that she's been been diagnosed with ‘another type of cancer’ following her breast cancer diagnosis in May. Amy said the news was 'a huge blow.'
She said: ‘For me, my journey everything changed. I was originally going to have a lumpectomy, radiotherapy, and hormone treatment. But then, after my MRI, they found another tumour so then it changed into a mastectomy and then, after my mastectomy, unfortunately, they found even more tumours.
‘And my pathology wasn’t what they were expecting. And they found another type of cancer and then they told me I needed chemo – for me that was a massive blow. It wasn’t in the plan, originally – and I know the plan you can’t get fixated on. ‘So all of a sudden then, I realised. And you get scared. But the oncologist did say that with chemo I’ve got a really good chance of a cure.’
She added to breast cancer survivor and Paralympian Erin Kennedy: ‘I was really scared and I didn’t want to do chemo, but then seeing someone like yourself who’s carried on and for me straightaway it was my dancing, like, you can take away my boob but you can’t take my dancing away from me and that’s what I get really upset about.’
On what this news means for her Strictly future, Amy said she’s in ‘such regular contact with the team’.She praised the BBC for being ‘utterly incredible’ and hailed them ‘one big family’.
