Amy Dowden has shared a poignant update on her cancer journey with her Instagram followers, just days after undergoing her second mastectomy.
Earlier this week, Amy revealed she was having another mastectomy, which meant she would no longer be able to participate in any of the Strictly live shows this year.
The 35-year-old was diagnosed with cancer in May 2023 after discovering a lump in her breast while on her honeymoon.
Amy frequently keeps her fans informed about her cancer journey, and today, she commemorated an emotional milestone.
On her Instagram stories, Amy shared a video of the moment she rang the hospital bell, signifying she was cancer-free, reports Wales Online.
Alongside the clip, which saw Amy breaking down in tears, the dancer wrote, “Two years ago today.”
On Saturday night, Amy received an outpouring of love and support as she shared an update post-surgery.
Sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea and surrounded by her loved ones, the pro wrote, “Home, resting up, still got my drain in but rrrrrready for the best entertainment and medicine there is for me….. @bbcstrictly good luck everyone.”
She added, “Cheering you all on from home! Lots of luck and love xxxxx.”
Host Claudia was the first to comment, leaving Amy some red heart emojis.
Joanne Clifton also sent the pro some love hearts, while Karen Carney said, “Sending so much love.”
One fan wrote, “Have a lovely and restful evening.”
Another follower commented, “Sending love and healing hugs your way, Amy.
“The strongest person!! Hope you have a speedy recovery, gorgeous girl!! sending so much love,” another added.
