Amy Dowden, a professional dancer from Strictly Come Dancing, has bravely shared her journey through two cancer diagnoses and a recent health scare. Diagnosed with grade three aggressive breast cancer in May 2023, she faced life-threatening complications during her chemotherapy, including sepsis and blood clots, which forced her to step back from the show. After undergoing a mastectomy and successfully completing chemotherapy, she received the all-clear earlier this year, only to be hospitalized again for further tests due to abnormalities detected in a routine check-up. Fortunately, doctors confirmed that there was no evidence of disease, allowing her to prepare for her return to Strictly this autumn. Dowden's experiences, including her struggles with online bullying during her treatment, are documented in her upcoming BBC film, 'Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me'. She emphasizes the importance of awareness around mental health and the impact of online trolling on individuals battling illness.
