Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden gives health update after latest breast cancer procedure
Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has updated fans on her health after her latest breast cancer procedure.
The 32-year-old announced in May that she had been diagnosed with aggressive stage three breast cancer after discovering a lump in her breast while preparing to go on her honeymoon with husband Ben Jones in April.
Sharing a statement to Instagram at the time, she said that she was “determined to get back on that dancefloor” and later revealed that she had undergone a single mastectomy.
Now, the pro dancer admitted she was “feeling groggy” following her latest procedure alongside a new photo of her clad in a hospital gown, posted to her Instagram Story on Monday night.
She informed fans: “Before the procedure this morning! All went well, Just feeling groggy and drowsy! Thanks for all the messages.”
The stage star did not elaborate on what procedure she had undergone.
Dowden’s update comes as she paid tribute to her husband on their first wedding anniversary following her recent announcement that she has breast cancer.
The professional dancer, who wed Ben Jones in a lavish ceremony in Wales last July, wrote on Instagram: “One year since our special day with our favourite people. What I would do right now to relive this perfect day.
“Not the anniversary or year we certainly had planned but I am sure and determined to have many more better ones with you!
“Thank you for being by my side, spoiling me, being Mr positive when I’m not and choosing to love me! Love you always,” the 32-year-old concluded.
Fans and a string of Strictly stars, including Jowita Przystał, Carlos Gu and Nancy Xu, took to the comments to wish her and Jones a happy anniversary.
In other posts on her Instagram Story, alongside snaps from their wedding, the dance pro gushed about her husband: “I know I can beat anything with you by my side. And may we always be by each other’s side! Love you always.”
