Strictly Come Dancing's Amy Dowden Shares Her Breast Cancer Journey and Encourages Self-Checks

She was diagnosed with grade three breast cancer in April and had a three-hour surgery to remove the cancer, which was successful.

Dowden has publicly shared her struggles with having Crohn's disease in the past and wanted to do the same with breast cancer to encourage others to check themselves.

She is now waiting for the bruising and swelling to go down and has received messages from women who have started checking themselves as a result of her story.
