Amy Dowden, the professional dancer from Strictly Come Dancing, has announced that she will undergo a second mastectomy following her previous battle with breast cancer. The 35-year-old was first diagnosed with the disease in May 2023 and underwent a rigorous treatment regimen that included chemotherapy and a mastectomy. In February, she shared that doctors had found no further signs of cancer, although she noted that she would not receive the official ‘all clear’ for another five years and would still require ongoing treatment. In a heartfelt message on social media, Dowden clarified that her upcoming surgery is not due to a new cancer diagnosis. She stated, "As you all know I’ve always been very open about my health and the care I receive. So I’d like to start by being clear what I am about to share is not to treat a new cancer diagnosis." She continued, "Following a recent appointment with my incredible medical team, we’ve decided that I’ll be having another mastectomy this week. They’re confident that all will go well and I can expect a straightforward recovery." Dowden expressed her eagerness to return to the Strictly family after her recovery, saying, "Of course I’m going to miss not being there so much but I will be watching from home and look forward to cheering everyone on. Thank you always for all the support." The dancer's announcement has drawn attention as she continues to navigate her health challenges while remaining a beloved figure on the show. Further updates on her condition and recovery are anticipated as she prepares for the surgery this week.
