TV STAR SUFFERS VAX POISON INDUCED BREAST CANCER

Strictly star Amy Dowden announces breast cancer diagnosis
The 32-year-old discovered a lump the day before going on honeymoon to the Maldives
Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Amy Dowden has revealed she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Caerphilly-born Dowden, who joined the BBC dance competition show in 2017, shared the news on Instagram, telling fans that she is “determined” to return to the dancefloor as soon as she can.
The 32-year-old wrote: “Hey all, I’ve got some news which isn’t easy to share. I’ve recently been diagnosed with breast cancer but I’m determined to get back on that dancefloor before you know it.” Dowden added a pink heart, signing off with “Welsh love Amy” with a kiss.
She said she found a lump in her breast in April, the day before going to the Maldives on her delayed honeymoon with fellow professional dancer Ben Jones, and hopes to raise awareness of the disease.
Dowden said that since realising the lump had grown after her holiday, she went to the GP before being sent for an emergency referral.
She told Hello! magazine: “Everything happened so fast within that day. I went on my own and didn’t tell anybody, but when I was there, the nurse said to me, ‘You need to have somebody here,’ and that’s when Ben found out.
“They told me it was looking very suspicious and to prepare for the worst, hope for the best. They did the biopsy and then we had a wait.”
Last week, Dowden was told she had grade 3 breast cancer.
She said: “My doctor explained to me that there are three grades, and 3 is the most aggressive, but they feel like they’ve caught mine early and to not be too alarmed because grade 3 would be expected in somebody of my age.”
