Amy Dowden has opened up about the first sign of her cancer diagnosis at the happiest time of her life. She has swapped ballroom dancing for antique shopping as she joins Dragons' Den star and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Sara Davies on BBC Two's Celebrity Antiques Road Trip tonight.
She had only just begun checking herself, following a charity trek with the breast cancer charity CoppaFeel! "I was in the shower and I felt this hard lump in my right breast. I was in shock; I checked again," she told HELLO! Magazine. After realising the lump had grown while on holiday, Amy went to see her GP and was sent for an emergency referral.
But days afterwards, doctors discovered a second type of breast cancer in the tissue they removed, plus more tumours, including one close to her chest, and specks in her other breast. It came as a huge shock to Amy. She was advised to have chemotherapy, but her first reaction was to refuse it. "I thought that's Strictly with a partner wiped out, that's my hair gone, that's my life gone. I was like, I don't want to do that," she told the Mirror.
