The professional dancer has opened up on her struggles
Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden recently revealed that she had been diagnosed with grade three, aggressive breast cancer and just last week she underwent a single mastectomy.
The professional dancer returned home from hospital last Friday. Surgeons removed two tumours and three further cancer “specks”, plus some lymph nodes, from her right breast, which have now been sent for analysis.“The hardest time was waiting for surgery, thinking ‘I have cancer inside me’.“The feeling of it made me feel disgusted, disgusting. That’s the time I was randomly crying, emotional.
Doctors were able to reconstruct her breast, inserting a small implant as part of her three-hour surgery last Wednesday. The star also lives with Crohn’s Disease, an inflammatory bowel condition first experienced when she was 11, and flare-ups can result in hospital treatment. She was afraid of feeling severely ill from the anaesthetic.
Amy is movingly candid about wanting children. She and Ben, with whom she won the British National Latin Dance Championships, had already begun planning.
