The individual who is 33 years old and belongs to Caerphilly received a cancer diagnosis for the second time in the month of July. They have been utilizing social media to share their experiences with others.

Once she had perused the guidelines for voting on the show, she provided an update regarding her ongoing chemotherapy regimen.

She stated that she is doing great and has completed more than half of her treatment.

"I'm eagerly looking forward to rejoining you all on a permanent basis."

On the latest episode of Saturday night's show, Dowden unexpectedly appeared from behind a glimmering gold partition with her locks shorn and dressed in a stunning sequined white gown.

The performer received a warm reception from her colleagues as they joyfully shouted her name, "Amy".

It's time for us to present our terms and conditions, and the person reading them is a cherished member of our Strictly team," announced host Claudia Winkleman as she introduced the reader.

A Caerphilly-based performer had to undergo a mastectomy in April due to the discovery of a lump.

"We have deeply longed for her and are thrilled that she has recovered enough to rejoin us this evening."

Tess Daly, who presented alongside someone else, expressed her joy in greeting Amy by saying "It's wonderful to see you, Amy. We care for you very much."

Dowden received a diagnosis of breast cancer at stage 3 after she found the initial lump in April, only a day before she was scheduled to depart on her honeymoon in the Maldives with her spouse, Ben.

Following a mastectomy procedure, she was informed that the growths had advanced and a different form of cancer had been identified.

She had to be hospitalized due to sepsis following a prior round of chemotherapy.

In the previous month, she posted a touching clip where she is seen with her dear ones, who are taking turns to trim a lock of her hair.

The picture was taken by Amy Dowden.

Amy's loved ones congregated to assist her in cutting off all her hair.

The lady expressed that she felt powerful and optimistic once she shaved off her hair. She also mentioned that she desired to reveal the reality of her situation in order to assist others and to normalize the idea of a bald head being gorgeous.

In a blog post that went along with the video, she mentioned that cutting off all her hair and feeling "empowered" was the most challenging thing she has done yet.
