Amy Dowden has shared the 'massive game-changer' when it comes to her confidence following her journey with breast cancer.

The Strictly Come Dancing star underwent treatment for breast cancer and shared her diagnosis publicly after being given the news in May 2023.

Amy told how she'd found a lump in April, the day before her honeymoon with fellow dancer Ben Jones, and had to undergo a single mastectomy before having chemotherapy treatment.

In February 2024, the dancer announced she had "no evidence of disease" following tests and later made a triumphant return to the hit dance show for its 20th-anniversary series last year.

But Amy is often hit with a reminder about what she went through, having been to the hospital for her monthly injection, due to having had a hormone-fed cancer, and also undergoing regular scans to track her progress.

 

In her latest social media update, Amy was seemingly having an exciting day as she was pampered by getting her hair and makeup done, while previously teasing a new big project.

Sharing a smiling selfie to her Instagram Story, she said: "The last few months, the difference in my self-esteem and confidence since my hair has grown has been huge.

"I know, compared to everything my body has been through, this really shouldn't be the case, and I'm truly grateful and proud of my body and where my health is today. But honestly, personally for myself, it's been a massive game changer."

It comes after Amy recently shared how it had been two years since she underwent her mastectomy. She reshared a post she made at the time in which she could be seen in the hospital.

Alongside it, the Welsh star wrote: "Happy 2nd birthday to me new boob! We celebrated dancing!!!"
