Amy Dowden breaks down in tears over cancer treatment: 'I wish this hadn't happened to me'

Amy Dowden has shared a new update on her cancer treatment, revealing that she ‘broke down in tears’ while questioning why this is happening to her. The professional dancer was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in May this year. The Strictly Come Dancing star later confirmed that she wouldn’t be taking part in this year’s series, after doctors found more tumours following a single mastectomy. In a post shared on her Instagram Story, the 32-year-old uploaded a photo of herself sitting up in a hospital bed with a cold cap on while receiving treatment. In the picture, Amy can be seen with her eyes closed, resting one hand on her face while the cold cap is strapped on underneath her chin. ‘I hardly slept. Broke down into tears as soon as I got in the room. Port has been a success. Cold cap on. So far coping and not as bad as I thought with cold cap,’ she wrote in her caption. ‘But just wishing this wasn’t happening to me! Nurses here are just incredible. Thank you NHS and I’ve got my fellow pink sister sat by my side and made sure I walked through the door this morning.’
