Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Amy Dowden took to her Instagram Stories to share a health update with her 434,000 followers ahead of her surgery
Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden candidly confessed she isn’t ‘looking forward to’ gaining ‘another scar’ as she opened up ahead of her latest procedure. The 32-year-old was diagnosed with stage three cancer in May and revealed she had been diagnosed with “another type of cancer” earlier this month.
The dancer, who has since had a single mastectomy, took to her Instagram Stories to share an update with her 434,000 followers, but didn’t reveal what her upcoming procedure was. In the snap, she wore a hospital gown as she took a mirror selfie. She had her hair tied up in a bun and wore a face mask as she shared her fears in the caption. “Really not looking forward to this!,” Amy wrote.
“Another scar this one only an inch long but will always remind me and will always be visible,” the star said. Amy later shared a screenshot of a DM she received in response to her post. “You’ve got this. Not a scar but a warrior stripe,” the fan said in a sweet message.
Amy revealed her devastating health diagnosis recently and underwent a mastectomy in an effort to remove the tumour. After sharing the devastating news, she was immediately showered with support. She was due to undergo radiotherapy and then return to Strictly, but she was left floored when doctors told her they had found more tumours after an MRI.
