Brave Amy Dowden gives two thumbs up as she returns home from hospital following cancer treatment
BRAVE Amy Dowden gave two thumbs up as she returned home from hospital following cancer treatment.
Strictly Come Dancing professional Amy, 33, was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in May.
She’s been having chemotherapy but told fans she’s been allowed to go home after the stay in hospital.
Taking to Instagram over the weekend, the TV personality looked gorgeous in a pink jumper as she posed with a giant cake.
In her caption, she gushed, “When you have the best friends and have a late birthday celebration! @braddykes is taking cake orders.”
Earlier this week Amy revealed she’s started to lose her hair as a result of chemotherapy.
She said: “As much as I prepared myself, waking up everyday gently combing my hair with a wide comb and seeing what comes out, it is just heart-breaking personally for me.
“I’m only washing my hair once, max twice, this week, not using any heat on my hair or styling it, so I just don’t feel like me.
“So it’s time to bring out the wig, I say, and get used to this, and help me feel like me.”
Amy’s latest round of treatment has also led to other nasty side effects such as sickness, nausea and mouth ulcers.
The brave star had a mastectomy in June before discovering her breast cancer had spread elsewhere in her body.
Amy’s diagnosis came after she discovered a lump in her right breast the day before flying to the Maldives in April for a belated honeymoon with husband Ben Jones.
