Amy Dowden has said her spirits are still high despite facing more blood clots in the midst of her treatment for breast cancer.

The professional dancer, who has appeared on Strictly Come Dancing since 2017, announced in May that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer at just 32-years-old.

It was when she was preparing to go on her honeymoon with husband Ben Jones that Amy found a lump in her breast, which turned out to be cancer.

In the months since, she’s undergone a single mastectomy and begun chemotherapy, and has been forced out of competing on the BBC series this year after doctors found more tumours.

Earlier this week she explained how her hair had started to fall out and has now said that while there’s been some more minor setbacks, she’s able to go home soon.

‘And I’m going home to my own bed! Thanks again to the marvellous NHS!’ she shared on Instagram on Wednesday night.

‘Got some blood clots but I’m feeling good other than a sore and swollen arm.

‘Another hurdle along this journey. But again forever grateful to the NHS and my heroes around me.’

She added: ‘Can’t wait to get into my own bed since Monday though ???????????????? #nhs #canceryoung #chemotherapy #myownbed #nhsheroes.’

Her Strictly Come Dancing colleagues sent their well wishes, with fellow professional dancer Gorka Marquez commenting with a couple of red love heart emojis, before writing: ‘You got this.’

Judge Motsi Mabuse added two red love hearts, whilst actress Emma Barton wrote: ‘You are amazing.’

The update came after Amy shared on Sunday that her second round of chemotherapy treatment had left her ‘hair shredding’, which she said was ‘heart-breaking’.

Posting a video of the hair that had fallen out, she wrote: ‘The reality when I gently comb’, with a broken heart emoji.

Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC later this year.
