 Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has shared a devastating update following her breast cancer diagnosis. The ballroom pro, 32, first revealed her diagnosis back in May, sharing that she was undergoing treatment. Sadly, Amy has now been diagnosed with 'another type of cancer'. Chatting in an Instagram Live with CoppaFeel!, Amy shared the sad news that doctors had found more tumours after an MRI. The star has since had a mastectomy and has now been told she will need chemotherapy. This mean's she won't be paired with a celebrity on Strictly this series. 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. '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.'
