Another person shared: “Thank you for sharing your journey. You look radiant, and your courage is truly moving.”
Meanwhile, Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins added: “So proud of you Amy. You are truly amazing.”
“You look amazing Amy, such an inspiration. I finished chemo last April, radiotherapy last July and had the all clear for TNBC last August. Getting there and feeling more back to normal now but my hair growth is erratic and so curly, so different to what it was before, so still wearing my wigs for now. Sending you lots of love,” a fourth said.
“Beautiful – brave lady,” a fifth added.
