Strictly Come Dancing professional Amy Dowden has been flooded with support from fans after revealing a devastating diagnosis.
The 32-year-old went public about her breast cancer diagnosis back in May. Before undergoing a mastectomy in an effort to remove the tumour.
She was meant to undergo radiotherapy and return to Strictly, but has now revealed doctors dealt another blow when they discovered more tumours during an MRI, reports The Mirror.
During a chat with Paralympic gold medalist and breast cancer survivor Erin Kennedy for the charity CoppaFeel!, Amy explained her “journey had changed” since being diagnosed, and she wouldn’t be able to compete with a celebrity contestant in the next Strictly 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.
“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.”
Amy says she will now need chemotherapy. She touched on the heart-breaking news in an Instagram post, revealing she would not be joining Strictly this year.
“Keep shining darling. You are stronger than you think. Even though you may doubt it, you will get through the hard stuff with grace, strength and courage,” it read, and she wrote: “Love this!” alongside it.
Fans were quick to show the star their support.
One wrote: “I love this and going to steal this Amy. I’m starting round five of chemo on Monday in my fight against an acute leukemia. We can do this!”
Another added: “You’ve got this girl!!! With you all the way, all the love always.”
A third said: “Sending love one step at a time. Chemo tick it off. Strong is allowing yourself to feel, keep friends and family close.”
“You’ve got this girl!!! With you all the way, all the love always
