Following her cancer diagnosis, Strictly dancer Amy Dowden celebrated a huge treatment milestone today (November 9) as she underwent her final round of chemotherapy.
The 33-year-old pro has kept fans up to date with her health journey ever since she was diagnosed with breast cancer in May. After undergoing a mastectomy, she received a second diagnosis of cancer.
Due to chemotherapy, Amy couldn’t compete during this year’s Strictly. However, she has still made several appearances in this series.
