Amy Dowden rings bell to celebrate end of chemo journey
Amy went public with her cancer diagnosis earlier this year after she discovered a lump in April, just a day before she went on honeymoon with her husband Ben Jones.
Speaking on Loose Women about her cancer journey, Amy explained: "I knew. My mum had breast cancer but hers was picked up in a mammogram and she didn't feel it, it was picked up on her first mammogram.
"I didn't tell my husband Ben. I went on the honeymoon and every day you're putting sun tan lotion on and I could feel it. I just had this gut feeling."
After returning from their break, Amy sought treatment immediately and has continued to fight the disease.
Unfortunately, shortly after completing chemotherapy Amy injured her foot and has revealed that she must remain in a boot for the forseeable.
Taking to Instagram, Amy wrote: "Not the week I was hoping for since finishing chemo. Port out but unfortunately gained a boot for a fractured foot. 💔
"Absolutely gutted and heartbroken as this means the plans for me to dance in the Strictly Ballroom this year are no longer possible. This is what has kept me going the past few months.
"2023 is certainly not my year, roll on 2024 I say!"
Her post was flooded with positive comments, all sending love to Amy.
Choreographer Arelene Phillips wrote: "What an unbelievable thing to happen. Wishing you a speedy recovery and love and more love ❤️ 🩷"
Actress Amanda Abbington said: "Sending you the most love!!! Rest up beautiful girl. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️"
While The Traitors presenter Claudia Winkleman posted: "❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️"
