Amy Dowden has revealed that her second mastectomy went well, sharing a health update with fans on Thursday evening.
The Strictly Come Dancing professional was first diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2023 and has since undergone extensive treatment, including a mastectomy, chemotherapy, fertility procedures, and a life-threatening battle with sepsis.
Earlier this week, she had announced she was preparing for a second mastectomy and has now shared a hospital snap following the surgery, revealing that she even managed to catch the Celebrity Traitors final.
Lying in her hospital bed, Amy was joined by her husband Ben and other family members as she wrote: ‘Thank you for all the messages and love. Sorry I have not replied to anyone, (only just looked at my phone).
‘Surgery went well and lots of sleep and resting up. Hubby & Family have been looking after me and the besties have turned up with the goods and nothing is stopping us from watching the traitors.. keeping the tradition going.’
Amy was not left alone as friends and fans showered their love with the star as fellow professional dancer Dianne Buswell wrote: ‘heal and rest up Amy.’
For context, the brave and professional dancer recently received an MBE from King Charles at Buckingham Palace.
